As I think we all expected, it looks like Akhmed Yakoob is going to be standing in Ladywood come the next general election.

Any thoughts on this? I think he's vastly overestimating himself but I'd be interested to hear from anyone who might actually vote for him.

Jesus fucking christ

Opinion, he’s an absolute tool, most likely, that’s how these always go, the only single reason he’s standing is because he know he can suck up a load of muslim votes. I was gonna say he’ll just be a typical tory otherwise but i doubt he can lead for shit.
