The Class of 2010 Who to watch in 2011? Who will be the Westminster star performers of 2011? After a lot of hype and anticipation about the new Parliament, MHP has analysed and examined the performance of the new intake to produce our Top Ten for 2011. These are the MPs who will make it to the front benches and be the loudest and most listened to in 2011. Some of these will be familiar faces, others less so. But whatever the reason we are sure you will be seeing and hearing more from them this year. There are a variety of reasons why, in our opinion, these are the ones to watch this year. Some have already been successful with positions on the frontbenches, some have been assiduous in speaking and raising constituency issues, while others have had high profile campaigns or been particularly effective media commentators or social networkers. Luciana Berger MP - Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree Although a controversial candidate, Luciana Berger has proved to be a strong voice for her constituency in the House of Commons, speaking in over 58 debates and tabling over 150 parliamentary questions. She has made hard-hitting attacks on the Prime Minister on two occasions during PMQs over cuts to higher education funding and back-tracking on the promise to keep the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in place. She is sure to make the most of her new role as Shadow Minister for Climate Change. Nick Boles MP - Conservative MP for Grantham and Stamford Since his election Nick Boles has maintained his reputation as an insightful political commentator, regularly making media appearances discussing the Government’s performance. He has been a surprisingly strong advocate of the Coalition and helped to articulate why it is more than a result of political expediency. Since the election he has already found time to publish a book – ‘Which way’s up? The Future of Coalition Britain and How to Get There” – in which he makes a convincing case for a formal election pact between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. We are sure it won’t be long before he joins the ministerial ranks. Dr Therese Coffey MP - Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal Therese Coffey was not a high profile parliamentary candidate, but she has been a strong and steady performer since taking her seat. From her position on the backbenches she has been very vocal in the House, speaking on all manner of subjects from the energy industry and health to the prison service and foreign affairs. In fact it is hard to find an issue on which she hasn’t commented. Stella Creasy MP - Labour MP for Walthamstow She may not have been ever-present on the Newsnight couches or in Ed Miliband’s inner circle, but Stella Creasy has knuckled down in her first six months and achieved results that would please a grizzled Commons veteran, let alone a newbie backbencher. Her campaign around the issue of loan sharking, in which she used a Ten Minute Rule Bill and some savvy media and political pressure to force a Government review of the high- interest loan market, has led to the possibility of the first regulation of legal money-lending in Britain since usury laws were repealed in the 19th century. And, in doing so, she has impressed a lot of very influential people.
