Former England test cricketer to stand as candidate in the General Election.

Apparently, when I was about three any family were living in Grangetown, Ted Dexter, who would have been the future England captain then, stood for the Tories in the Cardiff South constituency against James Callaghan - I would guess there have been far more cricketers who have stood for Parliament for the Conservatives than there have been for one of George Galloway’s various parties.

I read that about Dexter , interesting fact.

Good luck to Monty Panesar

Good luck Monty but ff sake stand on your own not on the same platform as that tosser Galloway

He’s another nutter. A marriage made in heaven.

Interesting mix standing for Gallaghers party. Celebs, some from the Labour left, an ex Tory or two, two ex UKIP MEPs..

The former England cricketer has had second thoughts.
