MILLIONAIRE club owner Margo Carmichael-Grimshaw has nailed her election colours to the mast for all to see.

Blackburn's queen of clubland is standing in the General Election as an Independent candidate.

And, in a bid to attract the attention of voters following one of the longest election campaigns in living memory, she has painted one of her cars in the colours of the Union Jack.

Margo, who runs clubs in Blackburn and has been acting as a consultant for Burnley's Club Xpo, is standing as a Keep Britain Free candidate.

She said: "I wanted the car painted red, white and blue so I could make a statement to voters when I go out canvassing.

"I firmly believe Britain should not be governed by a group of faceless bureaucrats in Brussels

"I have no idea how much this is going to cost me - but the price isn't important when the sovereignty of the nation is at stake."
