Lib Dem row

Telegraph online reports: ‘The Liberal Democrats have been accused of deselecting a candidate based on his Christian faith in a breach of equality law.’

It states: ‘Members have reported the party to the equalities watchdog over accusations that the party has tolerated a “hostile environment” for people of faith … and “emboldened those who believe Christians should be driven out of public life”.’

The paper adds: ‘The complaint to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) concerns the treatment of David Campanale, a committed Christian.’
