It was the former Sun editor wot, er, lost it

Watch out Cameron and Brown ... here comes Kelvin MacKenzie. The Sun editor turned Sun columnist stood as a candidate in the local elections in Weybridge under his newly-created Red Mist Party, reports the Independent. He spent a grand total of £124.30 on his campaign but lost by 227 votes to 679. Kelvin says he made the move into politics because the parking at the train station went up from £3.50 to £5 - but admits Red Mist will probably turn into "a grumpy old gits party."
