2.14.02pm GMT Tue 31st Jan 2006

Cyril Townsend, who served as Conservative MP for Bexleyheath from 1974 to 1997, has announced that he has joined the Liberal Democrats.

Sir Cyril said,

"David Cameron was the author of Michael Howard's illiberal manifesto just last May. If he believed what he wrote then, how can he believe what he says now? And since he voted for the US invasion of Iraq, and has been continually Eurosceptic, what right has he to our respect for his international intentions?"
