If this was a natal born woman standing for election would it be acceptable to tolerated.

Is that an old picture?

I don't think he's been selected as Labour candidate yet, has he?

Eddie Izzard is definitely up for selection, and according to several posts that I have seen on Twitter is apparently the cert to win.

So many people in the public eye have had their careers marred, or even been sacked for pictures and or tweets/emails sent in the past, I just wonder how this and others will affect EI’s political career?

Who in their right mind would vote for that!

He may well be selected but, unless the Johnson factor of being a well known TV personality works for him, I'm dubious about him getting the votes of the wider Sheffield electorate.

I rather like Eddie

What a sad/mad country this has become!

Screaming Lord Sutch (remember him?) stood for election with a lavatory pan round his neck. It’s up to the voters at the end of the day.

I really like Eddie Izzard.

But you're right to pose the question Gg13

The playing field isnt as level as some would think

If the Labour party wants to be taken as seriously as Screaming Lord Sutch & the Monster Raving Loony Party, and to get a similar share of the vote, that's up to them.

Tbf, I think Izzard would take the job of MP seriously and may well be better than many of the bunch who are there now.

The glaring flaw is that his claim to be a 'girl' and everything following from that, contributes to the removal of rights from actual girls and women.

I wouldn't support him for that reason.

The old film of President Volodymyr Zelensky pretending to play the piano with his penis doesn't seem to have prevented him being taken seriously or stopped him becoming the very definition of a politician you would want on your side in a crisis.

I can’t get past the words “natal born woman”. Surely that is a tautology. The word woman suffices.

Attention seeking narc.

It’s a big no from me, if it was a “person that had been born a woman” ( think that is the correct term) then there would be outrage.

Agreed, esspee.

As FN says, I think that Izzard would make a decent MP, but I also agree that his fender politics are too dodgy for me to vote for him.

Just covering all bases, there are lots of posters on GN with differing ideas of what is a woman

Zelenskyi doesn't dip in and out of being a 'man' or a 'girl' as the mood takes him.

I'd find Izzard easier to take if he would just plump for one or the other.

I might leave the Labour Party about this.

Or possibly our future Prime Minister? I guess the country will be in safe hands then..... ?

Because I’d never not vote, when I was equally sick of the lot of them, I did once vote for the Monster Raving Loony candidate.
They certainly used to brighten up election night!

Why would you find it easy to accept a lie, if he claimed to definitely be a girl/woman?

If you saw a man who looked like Izzard, but was not him, in the hospital bed next to you, would you be happy with that?

He played piano on tv using his penis. Sometimes Eddie wears a dress. I can't think of anything else to say. ?

I have good news for you...

Perhaps Eddie could play piano with his penis while wearing a dress. A vote winner for sure *
