Jeremy to run against Nick Clegg??
Rumours have been spreading around the Tory conference that Jezza will run against the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in his constituency of Sheffield Hallam (?)
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-9160.html Well, he couldn't do any worse than Nick Clegg. He already has the upper hand that people actually know who he is! |

Except that would mean that he would have to leave Top Gear right?
And I'm sure that even people who have read the Wikipedia article on the old format would know what happened when he left Top Gear. |

So if he stood as a Tory candidate and got in as an MP and the Conservatives won the election he could still present TopGear and write for magazines/newspapers as long as he wasn't given a job as a Minister (say Transport). So as long as he was just a back bench MP he would be fine to carry on as normal and as TG isn't technically a political programme he would also be allowed to carry on presenting it by the BBC. Have I Got News for You is a very topical current affairs show and Boris Johnson was allowed to present that by the BBC - until he joined the tory shadow cabinet anyway. |

And the First Minister of Scotland has a second job as an MP. I don't believe there's any explicit rule about having to quit jobs unless there's an obvious clash. However, I'll eat my hat if this does happen. I can't imagine Clarkson running for office.

I'm not sure how reliable the Pink News is as a news source. Probably no worse than The Sun or the Daily Mail, but I've never heard of it before ...
