Ex-Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has hinted at launching a bid to topple Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband at the next General Election.

Mr Clarkson, 65, penned a rather cryptic message about Mr Miliband's re-election in Doncaster North on social media earlier today.

"People of Doncaster North," Mr Clarkson wrote. "Are you happy with your MP? Would you like it if someone from your neck of the woods kicked him out?"

Mr Clarkson was born in Doncaster in 1960 before eventually moving to London to pursue a career in journalism.

He now lives with his girlfriend Lisa Hogan on his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire.

Meanwhile, Mr Miliband was born in London in 1969 before reading Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University.

After working as a special adviser to then-Chancellor Gordon Brown, Mr Miliband was parachuted into the once-safe seat of Doncaster North, some 160 miles away from his childhood home.

The most recent YouGov MRP poll suggested Mr Miliband would lose his seat by six points to a challenger from Reform UK.

However, Mr Clarkson looks unlikely to contest the seat in a teal rosette.

Swiping at Reform UK leader Nigel Farage earlier this week, Mr Clarkson wrote: "Nigel Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up.

"He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150billion. Huh?

"But before anyone has the chance to question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats."

Ex-Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe raced out of the blocks to personally endorse Mr Clarkson.

"I hope Clarkson stands," the Great Yarmouth MP wrote.
