The Tory MP who posted a bizarre video campaigning for a fish and chip shop in his town centre has been reminded that he voted against one opening as a councillor in 2019.
Steve Tuckwell posted a video on X urging people in Uxbridge and South Ruislip to join his campaign to “bring one home” to the town centre in a campaign that has been described as an unscrupulous data grab.
Tuckwell acknowledged there are other chip shops in his constituency, which was previously represented by Boris Johnson, but expressed a need for another in the centre of town.
In the video, Tuckwell says: “Hi everyone, I’m here in Uxbridge town centre and I’m campaigning to bring a Fish and Chip shop here to the centre of Uxbridge, and I need your support to help the campaign. Here’s the thing there isn’t a Fish and Chip shop in the centre of Uxbridge.
