Whipped
Based on true accounts of newly elected, young, female MP's. By Becky Prestwich.
by Becky Prestwich
This drama looks at the very rarely seen or heard detail of the life of a newly elected young, female MP, with fascinating detail of what it鈥檚 really like at Westminster. Meg鈥檚 party is in opposition but it鈥檚 on the way up, and so is she. But it's an uphill battle. She begins her working life in Westminster: the seat of democracy - with an office, perched between a sink and a clothes rail, in the ladies cloakroom. Newbies have to beg, borrow or steal an office. She has a love/hate relationship with the Chief Whip when her credibility is threatened.
