What do John Bercow, Nigel Farage, Iain Dale and Count Binface all have in common? The quartet are among the few British political commentators listed on popular celebrity video app Cameo, where celebrities charge fans to record messages. Now though the quartet has been joined by the first sitting MP to use the app: onetime Corbyn loyalist Dawn Butler.
Butler, a former Shadow Cabinet member who has sat for Brent South since 2015, is now flogging messages for any kind of occasion. Customers are promised a 24 hour delivery time from a ‘serious MP with a serious sense of humour’ with an accompanying winky face, with prices of £30 having previously been listed.
While her service is currently listed as ‘unavailable’ there is at least one happy customer who left a five-star review in April simply captioned ‘Awesome.’ Lucky users also get the chance to ‘say hi to Dawn Butler’ for a mere £2.99
