Jeremy Clarkson sets tongues wagging with ‘offer to stand as MP and oust Ed Miliband’

Ex-Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has hinted at launching a bid to topple Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband at the next General Election.

Mr Clarkson, 65, penned a rather cryptic message about Mr Miliband’s re-election in Doncaster North on social media earlier today.

“People of Doncaster North,” Mr Clarkson wrote. “Are you happy with your MP? Would you like it if someone from your neck of the woods kicked him out?”

Mr Clarkson was born in Doncaster in 1960 before eventually moving to London to pursue a career in journalism.

He now lives with his girlfriend Lisa Hogan on his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire.

Meanwhile, Mr Miliband was born in London in 1969 before reading Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University.

After working as a special adviser to then-Chancellor Gordon Brown, Mr Miliband was parachuted into the once-safe seat of Doncaster North, some 160 miles away from his childhood home.
