The last election saw the biggest rookie intake since 1997, with 227 new MPs arriving. The New Statesman, in association with Insight Public Affairs, has compiled a list of 20 MPs aged under 40 who we think have the brightest prospects. The list excludes frontbenchers, although some are sure to be future ministers and even prime ministers. As last week’s NS leader noted: “so far, the 2010 generation has shown itself to be independent-minded and politically precocious, with a reassuring tendency to defy the whips”.
