Mims Davies MP | This House Would Keep Politics Out Of Sport | Cambridge Union

Mims Davies MP speaks as first proposition of the motion in the Debating Chamber on Thursday 9th May 2024.
It’s the year of the Paris Olympics, Paralympics and the European Football Championship, and questions of sport are at the forefront of the zeitgeist. In the third debate, we consider the role of sportspeople and events within political discourse. Should sport act as a unifying force for those of different backgrounds? Should political actors be universally removed from the sporting world? Do individuals and institutions with cultural power have the same duty and license to tackle inequality and political questions?
