Boris Johnson impersonator to run for Rejoin EU Party in North Shropshire by-election

"That the last MP managed to get paid £300,000 a year to lobby for companies is an absolute disgrace. I could have got loads more!"

A Boris Johnson impersonator is set to run to replace Owen Paterson in the North Shropshire by-election next month.

Some 14 candidates have thrown their names into the hat to become an MP following the resignation of Paterson, who had been the constituency MP since 1997.

He resigned after a report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards found that he had broken paid advocacy rules.

Boris Been-Bunged

Drew Galdron will stand for the party that wants to reverse Brexit in next month’s election.

In a video posted on Twitter by the party’s leader Richard Hewison, Mr Galdron – standing as Boris Been-Bunged – says he’s coming to North Shropshire “for all the sleaze, every single bit of sleaze”.

When asked about plans, he says: “I’m determined to ignore any of the corruption,” before later adding: “I’ll do anything for power old boy.”

Outlining his manifesto, Mr Galdron later said: “I’m so pleased to be picked to fight this by election. That the last MP managed to get paid £300,000 a year to lobby for companies is an absolute disgrace. I could have got loads more!

“Sorry, I’ve been doing these impersonations too long and it’s all too sleazy to accidentally slip into character.”

Thought I’d share the moment I met our amazing candidate for #NorthShropshire

Sadly the sound wasn’t great, but as it’s just between us friends on Twitter thought I’d share anyway!#torysleaze #OldBexleyAndSidcup#RejoinEU #FBPE pic.twitter.com/757wpOZHTV

Full list of candidates

Rejoin EU Party Leader Richard Hewison added: “We were genuinely disappointed when the talk of a unity anti-corruption activist in this by-election fell apart due to the ‘business as usual’ tribal politics of the big opposition parties.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
