You read that right: not only has the LibDem candidate who Guido revealed earlier in the week to have a prolific porno portfolio been elected this afternoon, they were immediately suspended by the Liberal Democratic Party. Not for her porno history – for some vintage antisemitism…

An email seen by Guido shows the candidate, Little Brighouse, had been reported for uploading a TikTok where she is pictured next to a photo of a burning Israeli flag with the infamously anti-Israeli statement “from the river to the sea”. A LibDem spokesperson has said:
“We have received a complaint regarding this candidate which has been reviewed under our independent complaints process. As a result they have been suspended from the Party while the complaint is fully investigated. Liberal Democrats have a long and proud record of standing up against antisemitism and continue to champion a liberal, tolerant and inclusive society for all.”
With just two days left before the local elections, Guido’s being sent all kinds of tip-offs about oddball candidates appearing on ballots this Thursday. An alarmed resident in Brecon and Radnorshire shared a Facebook post drawing attention to a LibDem candidate called Little Brighouse, who’s standing as a county councillor in Powys, Wales. Brighouse is a prolific TikTok user, where not only does she claim to have multiple personalities – she also allegedly reveals that one of these personalities is a porn star going by the name of ‘Tobi Atlantic’…
Brighouse also has a Linktree page, which lists both her Twitter and Instagram profiles. Her Twitter account features the usual political material you’d expect of an active campaigner. Her Instagram, on the other hand, leaves a lot less to the imagination…
Brighouse shared the lefthand image above on Instagram, while the righthand is a still from “Tobi Atlantic’s” extensive video library. The butterfly tattoo appears in both next to, errm, an actual ginger growler. Co-conspirators conducting their own research on this probably shouldn’t do it in the workplace…
Both the Welsh LibDem press office and Brighouse have ignored repeated approaches for comment. To be fair, they’re likely still busy responding to all the negative press Brighouse created last month when she accused Tory MP Fay Jones of racism – later forcing the Welsh LibDems to apologise on Brighouse’s behalf. Do these local associations vet any of their candidates? Two days to go…
