BRITAIN'S first female hardcore porn director has set her sights on seducing Gravesham voters into electing her MP.

Anna Arrowsmith has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the borough at the upcoming general election.

The 38-year-old is the boss of adult film company Easy on the Eye and has made around 300 movies under the pseudonym Anna Span, winning a number of awards.

She has also written a book advising couples on how to make porn at home, which has sold more than 22,000 copies.

Describing herself on Facebook, she said: “I am a keen campaigner for women's rights and anti-censorship issues, with a career of some 12 years spent changing the adult industry towards a more femal friendly one.

“I am a natural fighter for justice and equality and I look forward to fighting on behalf of Gravesham at Westminster.”

Discussing her ties to the area, she said: “I have very fond memories of spending a lot of time at my grandparents in Greenhithe as a child.”

She added: “Half my family are from this area, which gives me great pride.”

In a message posted on her Twitter page, Mrs Arrowsmith, who lives in Tunbridge Wells with her husband Tim, said: "From porn to Parliament, here I come!"

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."
