Izzard eyes political career

British comedian/actor Eddie Izzard is considering a career in politics - because he fears the UK is going to lose its identity in Europe.

The 'Ocean's Twelve' star is hoping to land a job within the European Union in a bid to save his native country's sovereignty.

He says: "We've got to make it work in Europe. People are very worried about sovereignty and the loss of sovereignty.

"I think the stakes are if we don't make the European Union work, then the world is screwed. End of story."
