A Nottinghamshire MP is using a crowdfunding page to boost his re-election campaign ahead of the expected general election next year. Brendan Clarke-Smith, who has served as the Conservative MP for Bassetlaw since 2019, will be standing in the seat again at the next election.
His Labour Party opponent will be Councillor Jo White, the current deputy leader of Bassetlaw District Council and wife of former Bassetlaw MP, Lord John Mann. Ahead of the contest, a page on the 'Crowdfunder' website has now been set up as part of Mr Clarke-Smith's re-election campaign.
Sharing a link to the page on Friday (June 30), Mr Clarke-Smith said: "Do you care about freedom, democracy and British values? If so then help us fight for them by donating to my campaign?"
