BN leadership hopeful Gapford was today branded 'arrogant, self righteous and minty' by fellow member Andy Whyment.
Whyment spoke out in an interview with Russian newspaper The Chernobyl Gazette saying that he had decided to support Gapford in the current leadership wrangling.
The Coronation Street star, who adorns the cover, and indeed every interior page of the publication, clad in his familiar leather jacket, said that he had approached Gapplication at a banquet held by the reclusive JackStack Whyte.
Whyment, a member since some day in the past, said he was left feeling humiliated as Gapford dismissed him as 'small time' and allegedly said that his support
'wasn't worth a hill of beans.'
'I had never been so insulted. I mean, I may be small time in this organisation but I have a rapid leather jacket. If that doesn't count for anything in this new proposed Gap regime then I'll stick with the drunken layabout leadership of Ceb, thank you very much.'
The Bean was said to be monitoring events closely but then realised nobody was talking about him so he headed off up into the hills. He is now presumed dead as well as alive.
This latest situation has seen Gapford's support in the polls drop slightly but his spokesperson dismissed polls as 'mad gassed up and taking all our jobs.'
