He’s been a TV-presenter, a columnist, a racing car driver and a farmer, but is Jeremy Clarkson now setting his sights on parliament? In a thinly cryptic tweet, Clarkson asked the people of Doncaster North if they are happy with their MP. (The MP in question is the Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband.)
“Would you like it if someone from your neck of the woods kicked him out?” said Clarkson, who was born in the South Yorkshire city.
This isn’t the first time the former Top Gear presenter has hinted at a planned run for parliament. Fifteen years ago, he tweeted, “I’m thinking I might stand at the next election as an independent for Doncaster North. Thoughts?”
No Clarkson candidacy was forthcoming. But maybe he’s serious this time. Will Miliband be spared from a high-profile head-to-head with the Britain’s bolshiest farmer in four years’ time?
