Looks like Loughton and his mates are manipulating the truth a little in order to scupper the SSM bill at the lords. Just seen this letter from, amongst others, Timbo to the Lords attempting to derail the bill at the next stage, so much for his claims of supporting equality.
You will note the claim that there was no "mandate from a party manifesto", as we all know, a mandate can sometimes lead to a same sex wedding (I know, it was a terribly crass joke, but I couldn't resist it) so it is essential that it exists. Well it does, and here it is;
seems pretty much cut n dried there in black and white (highlited with a little yellow by yours truly).
Surely sending a letter to the HOL which contains porkies is a bit on the naughty side and should be questioned, especially when our lovely Timbolina wants to appear to not be trying to throw a spanner in the works in his faux crusade for equality.
What a crock.....
