Bez launches his bid to become Salford's MP

Former Happy Mondays star Bez launched his campaign to get into parliament today.

In a first for the Reality Party his face was plastered onto a billboard in Salford.

Bez, his real name Mark Berry, is the leader of the Reality Party and will be standing for the Salford and Eccles seat come the general election in May.

His party will be running on an anti-fracking and anti-privatisation ticket, hoping to unseat Labour in one of it's strongholds.
