In 2009 I was commissioned by The Times to cover several appearances by Esther Rantzen as she tried to win the hearts of the people of Luton, in the hope of gaining a seat as a Member of Parliament for the Bedfordshire town.

Her actions and reactions are some of the most emotive I have ever witnessed, she is like a walking caricature…of herself.
