Tory MP Steve Barker has revealed his bizarre plans if the Conservatives lose the general election.

The Minister of State for Northern Ireland was quizzed about his party’s election campaign by BBC journalist and presenter Victoria Derbyshire on Thursday (23 May).

Mr Barker said: “Only the Conservative Party stands for freedom and can sort out the problems the country faces.”

The presenter then asks him: “What do you want to do if you are not an MP?”

Mr Barker responds: “Skydiving, motorcycling, fast-catamaran sailing.”
