A Libdem PPC has launched an online fundraising campaign against Nadine Dorries MP to unseat her from Mid Bedfordshire.

Candidate Linda Jack is using a new fundraising site called YouFund.Me.UK for her campaign.

The platform has also been used by other candidates in this election, including Tory candidate Antony Calvert in Morley & Outwood, and Lucy Powell, Labour PPC in Manchester Withington.

The campaign also involves reaching out via ads to people searching for Nadine Dorries on Google.

LibDem PPC Linda Jack said:

I am delighted with this great opportunity to raise funds for my campaign. The people of Mid Beds are fed up with a publicity seeking MP who cares more about appearing in the pages of the tabloid press and on reality TV shows than listening to the concerns of those who she is meant to represent in parliament.

YouFund.Me.UK’s Jag Singh says:

YouFundMe provides the technology platform for candidates to advertise themselves and raise money for their campaigns outside their party structures and outside their constituencies. To donors it provides an easy, secure way of immediately supporting candidates.
