Britain's first female director of
hardcore porn films is aiming to become Gravesham's MP.
Anna Arrowsmith, 38, has been
selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the borough at the
looming general election.
The boss of adult film company Easy
on the Eye, she has made about 300 movies and her book teaching
couples how to make porn at home has sold more than 22,000
copies.
She will be standing for Parliament
against Labour candidate Kathryn Smith and the current MP,
Conservative Adam Holloway, in the election expected on May 6.
In a message posted on her Twitter
page, Mrs Arrowsmith says: "From porn to Parliament, here I
come!"
Mrs Arrowsmith, who goes under the
pseudonym Anna Span, lives in Tunbridge Wells with her husband
Tim.

She was named best director in the
2008 and 2009 UK Adult Film and Television Awards.
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said:
"The Liberal Democrats are proud to have candidates throughout the
country with a great diversity of backgrounds and life
experiences.
"Anna will be a strong candidate
for Gravesham and with her family links to the area we believe she
is the best person to bring fairness to local people."
