What do Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch, Michael Gove and Suella Braverman have in common – apart from being members of the government? They've received a helping hand from one man, who nicknames himself 'The Presentation Coach' 🔎 Big Read by youngvulgarian
How Rishi Sunak, Braverman and Gove used unknown £3,000-a session presentation guru to try and win over votersGraham Davies has coached Rishi Sunak and several cabinet members on how to be MPs to maiden speeches – but is the professionalisation of politics a good thing?
Since 2005, Graham Davies has been working as, among other things, a “selection coach”, mentoring wannabe Tory MPs hoping to win selection fights in attractive seats. Asked if the mentoring ended once Sunak entered Downing Street, Davies demurred and said: “I just don’t feel comfortable talking about something as specific and as recent as that”. The Conservative party also declined to comment.
If you are a normal person from a normal background hoping to get into Parliament, who will tell you that others are getting a secret leg up? Perhaps ironically, a need to widen the field of candidates is what brought coaches into Conservative politics in the first place.
