Bookie Paddy Power have slashed the odds on football star Gary Neville bidding to become MP. The move comes following a report in City AM that the Manchester United legend is to step up his work with the Labour Party.
The financial newspaper said the former England right back was going to be making a series of appearances beside Sir Keir Starmer. Now Paddy Power has not only cut the odds on the Sky Sports pundit making a run for Parliament but also on him becoming Labour leader one day.
The Irish bookie has made the footballer 20/1 to stand for Parliament at the next election, down from 100/1 before the news. He is currently 25/1 to actually win a seat at the next election, speculated to be some time in 2024.
