Top row, left to right: Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman both entered parliament in 2015 – Sunak after being selected in 2014 and Braverman after being on the candidates’ list since 2003. Penny Mordaunt was elected in 2010 after first seeking a selection in 2003. Bottom row, left to right: Sir Keir Starmer entered parliament in 2015 after being selected in 2014, while Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey entered parliament in 1997.

In fact, most of what we know about this round of selections comes fromMichael Crick left Channel 4 in 2019, then, three years later, decided to launch @TomorrowsMPs. “It’s purely a hobby for me.” he said. “I don’t make any money out of it.” That doesn’t mean it isn’t keeping him busy.
Every day, Crick logs on and tweets to his 33,000 followers about which parties are opening up selection for which seats, which candidates have made it into which shortlist and who ended up winning it all, thus taking a hopeful first step towards a parliamentary career.
