The last election saw the arrival of 227 new MPs, the biggest rookie intake since 1997. 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 in the House. The list excludes frontbenchers, although among them are sure to be future ministers and even prime ministers. As the NS leader notes this week: “so far, the 2010 generation has shown itself to be independent-minded and politically precocious, with a reassuring tendency to defy the whips”.
We will be following them and reporting back on their progress in the years ahead. For now, here is the list. You can read profiles of these MPs in this week’s NS, currently available on the newsstands.
