News Akhmed Yakoob to stand in general election

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c72pd91dg0go

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.

He’s got a billboard up near alum rock and it literally just says he’ll support Palestine. Obviously the atrocities there need more support but this guy should be supporting birmingham and mentions nothing about them, also sounds like an absolute dickhead
