Happy Birthday, Austin Mitchell! From your first steps into Parliament back in 1977 to capturing the halls of Westminster through your camera lens, you've certainly kept things interesting. Your photographic eye has given us a unique glimpse behind political curtains—proving that sometimes pictures really do speak louder than words.Sure, there have been some eyebrow-raising tweets along the way (perhaps best left unframed), but today we celebrate you for all those memorable parliamentary snapshots and decades of spirited debate. Here's hoping this year brings fewer controversies and more perfectly timed shutter clicks!
Wishing you laughter-filled moments—and perhaps slightly less controversial hashtags ahead!
