Today Simon Danczuk has come under fire for reportedly pulling out of a parliamentary trip to China at the last minute, after discovering he would have to travel in mere economy class.
The Labour MP cancelled his attendance after his request to be upgraded to business class was turned down. According to Richard Graham, the Tory MP, this led to the whole trip being called off. However, Danczuk says that the suggestion he was being overly picky is ‘nonsense’ and that a health condition — thought to be a back problem — was the reason flying economy class was unsuitable.
Still, this is the same super-fit Simon Danczuk who boasts that he runs at least 5k a day and is planning to run the London marathon:
Currently run 5k a day. Thinking about entering London Marathon, in April, how much training needed & should I enter in 2017 or 2016?

Ran my first 10k this morning & did it in just under one hour š

Just done 10k run (in the rain!), which took just one hour!

Mr S hopes that his back didn’t ache too much after any of his 10k runs.
