Episode 51: Gareth Bacon, MP for Orpington
Manage episode 347395131 series 3417461
Zeenat Noorani and Darren Weale talk exclusively with Gareth Bacon, Member of Parliament for Orpington - who also joined us as guest co-presenter in episode 31 of the Bromley Buzz podcast here and is interviewed at Orpington Football Club in episode 28 here.
We learn about Gareth's life and career, his interest in politics and sport, and his journey to becoming MP for Orpington via being a member of the Greater London Authority, and now, newly, Parliamentary Private Secretary to Jacob Rees-Mogg. We ask what an MP does, and what is dominating Gareth's 300 emails-a-day postbag from his constituents. Gareth talks about 'Orpington Heroes' and other local stories including Orpington's Children Business Fair, which returns on 16th July.
You can listen to earlier interviews with Gareth's fellow local MP's: Sir Bob Neill (Bromley and Chislehurst) here, and Bob Stewart (Beckenham) here. We look forward to talking with Ellie Reeves (Lewisham West and Penge) soon.
