Not Eddie Izzard.

    There goes his bid to be the first girl-mode PM in English history.

    My guess is that Sheffield wanted a candidate who would take the job seriously.

    I agree, Mike. I also think people have quite a powerful dislike for carpetbaggers and entitled celebrities. Abtisam has put her time in and done a lot for the community. I’m sure Izzard performs very well at fundraising dinners, but that’s not necessarily a good MP resume.

    As someone wrote on twitter “The failure of Izzard’s campaign shows just how hard it is for women in politics”
