Steerpike competition: ‘MP Looking Normal’ contest

  • Comments

Politicians are always trying to appear normal, sincere and authentic. It’s not just Ed Miliband trying to decide which kitchen to pose in: every MP is always trying to craft an image of themselves as a man or woman of the people through carefully-posed Twitter photos.

Mr Steerpike particularly enjoys shots of MPs enjoying themselves in their constituencies while buttering up a local business, and has a little black book of the best examples. Here are three very good ones:

Charlie Elphicke stocks up for Crisp-Mas

James Duddridge relaxes with his constiuents

Most popular

Bruce Anderson

To rehydrate, drink beer

James Wharton didn’t even need a second kitchen to make this Big Mac.

Now Mr Steerpike has a challenge for you, can you find an even better photo of an ‘MP Looking Normal’? If so let Mr S know, the best wins a packet of crisps from Charlie Elphicke’s favourite shop.

M&S, please stop playing with your food

From Spectator Life
Maybe it was when M&S began selling chicken katsu sando-flavoured crisps, or launched its Plant Kitchen range with its inedible alternative to chicken, or began slathering ‘green goddess sauce’ on already clammy ready salads. Or maybe it was the thousandth time I traipsed, freezing, through the tightly packed rat run of a station M&S Food
