@swissyyroll You’re lucky. 8000 for me and others have bigger numbers!

@Stephenmevans1 @Psephizo @Katie_Lam_MP @LibDems Follow the evidence, Stephen. When did the problem start and why? He didn’t fit the activists wishy-washy belief allowance, so they dumped him, even though he’d been fairly elected.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@TheOnlyEsta @EuropeFBPE Yup

@DorianHunky @CF_Farrow @LoisMcLatch Was t the time to bring their concerns up when he was voted in as candidate? Although he is quiet about his current views, his historical views are well-documented.

@THE_Chris_Evans @CF_Farrow Please could you elaborate? Important that we judge based on facts not perceptions.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

100% agree. The Party is founded on Gladstone's Christian principles and while many Christians disagree with each other and with other members on certain issues, we all agree with the fundamentals of community, fairness and openness to all.

[David Campanale @DavidCampanale]

The voters may be saying something to the Lib Dems that should be listened to. Tim Farron polled the highest among its MPs with over 31,000 votes and 62.7% vote share on a good 68% turnout. His Christian principles were a plus not seen as a threat. https://t.co/IAk7XeTN2d

[Victoria May White @vicmaywhite]

Most of us believe in freedom of religion or belief & would be outraged if an employer discriminated against us because of our faith.
I stand with @DavidCampanale #FoRB

[Neighbourhood Guardian @Neighbo50847722]

@DavidCampanale Sutton and Cheam needed you David. Never give up.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@milled_pepper @LibDems @DavidCampanale Don’t give up on the party! There are many good people including Christians. This is a mess and needs to be fixed, but we do everything will fix it.

[Andrew Hawkins @PigsAndPolling]

Iran's Guardian Council sounds a bit like the Sutton & Cheam Lib Dems after deselecting @DavidCampanale

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Well I guess a stopped clock can be right twice a day but Ann Widdicombe is right about the @libdems journey to illiberalism and discrimination.

@DavidCampanale is not alone in being persecuted by the undemocratic grip of a few who are intolerant and undemocratic and I look forward to the EHRC investigation, and am happy to contribute.

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

Shocked to read of this illiberal crushing of conscience. We need more MPs -like William Wilberforce -motivated by belief and public service - not more robots. PC -political courage -not PC political correctness. Good to see poll backing @DavidCampanale @_KateForbes & @timfarron

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@BobbumsUK @OIDACEurope @WStoneInsight @DavidCampanale I’m so sorry that happened to you and that is 100 times worse than what has happened to David. I’m also sorry for the part the Church played in your past and we are trying to sort it out. But bullying and discrimination should not be tolerated anywhere.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@DavidCampanale He should explain that to some of his Party members 😱

[Observatory on Intolerance against Christians EU @OIDACEurope]

New @WStoneInsight Poll reveals: 75% of Brits oppose deselection of Lib Dems candidate @DavidCampanale!
Bishop Watson fears that we "drift into a society which discriminates against very able and compassionate people on the basis of their sincerely-held Christian convictions."

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@Franlow4 @LizWebsterSBF @DavidCampanale @LibDems @PhilipCaseFW @timfarron I don’t think it’s a broad problem in the Party, but it has not been dealt with at all well from what I understand.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@WinstanN70 @benedictrogers @DavidCampanale @LibDems So that excuses the behaviour that led to the deselection? If the protagonists had apologised, maybe he could have regained the confidence of members.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@leenigelthacker @LibDemFox @FrancisTDavis @DavidAltonHL @EdwardJDavey @EdDaveyNews @SarahLudford @MrDavidStroud @LordRennard @DavidCampanale @amcarmichaelMP @timfarron @Timothycho08 @BobFu4China The court will see the evidence. Please don’t judge either him or his opponents until decisions have been made by the court. I am involved because I count David as a friend.

[🔶 Toby Price #FBPE #LDCF ✝️ #LDEG @tobypriceis]

@LibDemFox @FrancisTDavis @leenigelthacker @DavidAltonHL @EdwardJDavey @EdDaveyNews @SarahLudford @MrDavidStroud @LordRennard @DavidCampanale @amcarmichaelMP @timfarron @Timothycho08 @BobFu4China I could name at least 10, including senior members. This will now come out in court unless it can be addressed by the Party. They need to stop ignoring it. David’s appeals are going through the very long process but his separate claims have been totally ignored.
