Having seen George Galloway succesfully make an tit of himself on reality TV, Lib Dem MP Julia Goldsworthy has decided to take part in Channel Four’s space-filler, The Games. Beginning in March, the sprightly twenty-seven year old will challenge ‘celebrity’ contestents to a number of physical tasks, including Swimming 50m freestyle, Hurdles, Hammer throwing, 100m Sprint, Cycling, White-water Kayak Slalom, Archery, floor gymnastics and possibly delivering 5,000 ‘Focus’ Lib-Dem flyers on a Sunday morning.
She will be joined by a cast of nonentities including Amanda Lamb, former model who appeared in the Scottish Widows advert and currently presents a Place in the Sun, the singer Javine, former Eastenders actress Michelle Gayle and Bernie Nolan, actress and former cast member of the Bill.
Julia comments:
it is also a great opportunity for me as a member of the Lib Dem Health Team, to promote the importance of health and fitness, at a time when obesity levels across the country are rising so worryingly.
as if a few shots of Evan Harris doing some pushups will lead to the nation’s lard arses taking up salad and running.
While we wait for the show to begin, please feel free to suggest any games you would like to play with a sitting Lib Dem MP (please note: any comments from oatenm@parliament.uk will be deleted).

I’ve got to say, she’s the best bit of political eye-candy around.
