Meet 1 meter pantomime dwarf who is elected Britain's shortest politician

New Tory councillor James Lusted was on Friday elected as the Conservative’s newest councilman for the Welsh becoming the shortest politician at just 3ft 7in tall.


James, 29, hopes to become an example for little people from his political seat, and stand for every one he is now representing.

“I will ensure that I listen to the residents, not just the younger or the older generation, but every generation from whatever background - everyone will have a voice,” he said.

James who is also a part-time pantomime actor pledges to measure up to the challenge of politics - despite being more than two feet shorter than 5ft 8in PM Theresa May.
He hit the headlines when he took his own step-ladder to church to stand next to his 5ft 7in bride, trainee teacher Chloe in November last year.
