Comedian Al Murray has said he intends to stand for Parliament at the General Election in the guise of The Pub Landlord.
The star - whose creation is famed for extolling the joys of all things British - plans to stand against Nigel Farage in Thanet South, Kent, for his newly-formed Free United Kingdom Party.
Explaining his decision to stand, The Pub Landlord said: "It seems to me that the UK is ready for a bloke waving a pint around, offering common sense solutions."
