I would be interested to here from Eddie or Suzy why he thinks he would make a good MP.

What are his qualifications?

This is a general point about politicians and also applies to Laurence Fox when he stood for London Mayor, same question?

To clarify my point. Clement Attlee spent the best part of 10 years working in the East End of London (Limehouse) doing social work. He was well known and liked by the locals which is why the Labour party asked him to become their candidate to try and dislodge the sitting Liberal MP which he did.

I'm sure he has but being sympathetic to a group doesn't mean you would make a good MP. Lots of people are sympathetic to the poor / racial groups / pensioners whatever that still isn't a qualification for being an MP or not in my book anyway.

What management experience do they have, can they point to accomplishments / problem solving / diplomacy / consensus building etc.

I'm not just digging him out because I don't know his story this is a general moan about wannabe MPs.

Eddie has almost bound to have done loads of LGBTQ work or whatever, I would have thought.

a group that, on average, have a higher disposable income than the rest of us. Normally able-bodied, well educated, as fit & healthy as anybody else. And Elton John & Graham Norton are multi-millionaires.

proper Charity work :

- the disabled
- the neuro-diverse

- the elderly
- the Terminally ill

- the poor
- drink & drug addiction charities.

etc.

My God. Are you serious?!

Hahaha.

I do believe you may be.
