Show 388. Gregor Poynton

Gregor was elected as the MP for Livingston in Labour's 2024 landslide. 

It was a full circle moment for the man who'd been the party's organiser in the 2005 Livingston by-election following the death of Robin Cook. 

He went on to work for Blue State Digital, the team who masterminded Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns. 

This is a masterclass is the art of campaigning from one of Morgan McSweeney's former colleagues. 

Plus, why he loves checked shirts so much.
