When showbiz and politics join forces, usually the circus is coming to town, but Eddie Izzard's support for Labour proves that this can be done with a touch of style. The British comedian, known for his unique comedy style and cross-dressing, said he volunteered to speak for Labour in Wales, Scotland and England. With Walws, the comedian has a special bond, due to the fact that he lived in south Wales when he was a child.
Eddie Izzard stated that he supports Labour because he believes "in fairness and the Labour Party I believe is also about fairness."Eddie Izzard's Brilliant Britain is one of the Labour's video for the 2010 election campaign, a stand-up show and also a stand up gesture made by the comedian in backing the part he believes in and Britain.
"I'm doing the broadcast because I take great offence at the Tories slagging off Britain, saying it's broken. I ran around the country and I found that Britain is brilliant. People from all kinds of backgrounds ran with me. Kids from rural estates and kids from inner city areas."The country has a big heart, which I saw even while we were going through tough times. The Tory party have changed their suits, but still don't believe in fairness, otherwise they wouldn't be in the Tory party".
