Tory Minister Esther McVey is facing a real struggle to hold onto her marginal seat Wirral West (she has a majority of only just over two thousands), but her latest leaflet includes a bizarre addition – a photo of someone who has campaigned powerfully and prominently against her government.

Suffice to say Franklin is probably not a Tory supporter – and doesn’t appear to have given permission to appear on a Tory election leaflet.
