Politician's Apprentice

[Peter Parka]

My local Conservative MP has become the first MP ever to take on an apprentice. I think it's great! Westminster is full of posh, young interns who can afford to work for free just doing it to get their foot up the social ladder while my MP has taken on a 20 year old local lad (who's not even a Conservative but a floating voter) who's doing an NVQ one day a week and working for and learning from my MP at Westminster and following him round. Great that he's setting an example and leading the way when the Conservatives have been banging on about more apprenticeships.:thumbup

nice idea, perhaps all politicians should do something like this? Keep the toffs out a little.
