Comedian Eddie Izzard has been campaigning in a seaside town in our region ahead of the local elections.
The long-time Labour supporter posted a video from New Brighton in Wirral yesterday, asking viewers to support Paul Martin, one of the party’s candidates in the ward.
Dan Davies, chief executive of Rockpoint Leisure, a company which has opened bars, restaurants, record stores and much else besides in the seaside town, also appeared in the video.
Speaking about New Brighton, Ms Izzard said: “Everything he (Dan) and Paul are doing, particularly [what] Dan’s doing, all the regeneration here in New Brighton, as someone who grew up in a seaside town, all the seaside towns need all the help they can get.
