Tories dragged even further right by Euro-allies

October 22, 2009 4:04 PM
Originally published by Sarah Ludford MEP

Commenting on an attempt by the political group to which Tory MEPs now belong to remove calls in a European Parliament resolution for the US to end capital punishment and support the International Criminal Court, Liberal Democrat justice & human rights spokeswoman and MEP for London, Sarah Ludford said:

"This is yet another example of the way that Tories in Europe have taken a shocking turn to the extreme right."

"Cameron's attempt at cuddly Conservatism is being brutally exposed for the fiction it really is."
