Ashfield, a Midlands constituency, has enough characters and subplots to fill a political soap opera
“I TOLD MY first ever voter to fuck off on Saturday,” begins Natalie Fleet, the Labour candidate for the marginal seat of Ashfield, a former mining community in the Midlands. A constituent was ranting about Labour’s talk of giving 16-year-olds the vote, which Ms Fleet supports. After all, she explained to the voter, at that age she was already a mother. “Well, you should have kept your legs closed,” he replied. “I went: ‘Well, you can fuck off’,” laughs Ms Fleet.
At the 2015 general election, he ran as a Liberal Democrat in the constituency. But he dropped out amid accusations of child abuse. The charges against him were dropped for lack of evidence on the morning he was due to stand trial. Mr Zadrozny is unhappy about how he was treated during the investigation, and singles out Paddy Tipping, the police commissioner for Nottinghamshire and a former Labour MP. “I can’t wait for parliamentary privilege,” says Mr Zadrozny.
