I don’t what ‘form’ she’s got, but he looks like a proper bloke (unlike the “Celebrity – I stop the traffic – Politician” ex candidate).
I expect I’ll be proved wrong (on the proper bloke bit), sigh.

Okay, his name is spelt Rumpouy, but spoken Rumpy. Whats the betting the redtops are desperate for him to have some dirt on him of a sexual nature, so they can use the phrase Rumpouy-pumpy? What am I saying, they’ll use it anyway, probably making some story up to suit.
As for Baroness Ashton, wasn’t she the EU Trade Comissioner, taking the post after Lord Voldemort of Fop? Gah! A title he missed out on, I wonder how much that smarts?

Below cpied and pasted from Wikipedia. All you need to know about Catherine Ashton, never had a proper job & never elected to anything, but ‘appointed’ many times
Ashton studied a broad degree in economics at Bedford College, University of London, now part of Royal Holloway, University of London, graduating with a BSc in sociology in 1977.[2][3][4] Between 1977 and 1979 Ashton worked at the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and was later elected as its national treasurer and subsequently as one of its vice-chairs. As of 1983 she worked for the Social Work Training Council.[5]
From 1983 to 1989 she was Director of Business in the Community working with business to tackle inequality, and established the Employers’ Forum on Disability, Opportunity Now, and the Windsor Fellowship.
She chaired the Health Authority in Hertfordshire from 1998 to 2001, and her children’s school governing body, and became a Vice President of the National Council for One Parent Families. She briefly advised the producers of several U.S. television shows, most notably Boston Legal on sensitive storylines.[6]
She was made a life peer as Baroness Ashton of Upholland in 1999. In June 2001 she was made a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Education and Skills. In 2002 she was appointed minister for Sure Start in the same department. In September 2004, she was made a Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Department for Constitutional Affairs, with responsibilities including the National Archives and the Public Guardianship Office. Ashton was sworn of the Privy Council in 2006, and became Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the new Ministry of Justice in May 2007.
In 2006 she won the “Politician of the Year” award at the annual Stonewall Awards.
On 28 June 2007 the new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, appointed her to the Cabinet as Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council.[7]
