Karen Danczuk: β€˜I want to become an MP’

Karen Danczuk has told ΒιΆΉΙη 5 live that she would like to return to politics and become an MP, because she believes β€œmy voice is important”.

Speaking to Emma Barnett on ΒιΆΉΙη 5 live, she said: β€œI want to get back into politics, and I've been thinking this past week, actually I would love to be an MP, I genuinely would, and I just hope I can get the support out there to enable that, because I think my voice is important. Mixed views should be taken into account."

Karen Danczuk was a councillor in Rochdale from 2012 to 2015. She said she would stand for Labour – but wouldn’t stand against her former husband, the MP for Rochdale Simon Danczuk.
