When asked if the general population could accept her as a politician, Eddie Izzard responded best by drawing attention to the obvious similarity between her and the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The comedian and actor has always been open about her political aspirations, and a few years ago she declared her intention to run for Labour MP.
In a recent interview, the ardent party supporter went into greater detail about her field experience and how she reacts to inquiries about whether she is “serious” about serving a constituency.
When asked by former barrister and presenter Clive Anderson on his podcast My Seven Wonders about what lies ahead for her in politics, she responded: ‘I’m pushing to be an MP.
I was pushing to be an MP in the last General Election, and I’m hoping to be an MP in the next General Election.
‘I will try very hard to get there and hope the people of the constituency I’m going for will elect me. So I’m very serious about it. I’ve said it since 2010, quite categorically.’
