Ms Swinson was re-elected to the House of Commons last Thursday (June 8) in the General Election.

Bookies have already picked her as their favourite to be the next Lib Dem leader.

Both Bet 365 and Sky Bet have odds of 5/4 of her taking the top job.

And she’s ahead of Vince Cable who is 2/1, Norman Lamb at 5/1 and Ed Davey at 7/1.
