MPs snub Tories' first gay summit
In London yesterday, Tory MPs shunned the first gay Conservative summit, an event intended to mark a "sea change" in the party's thinking on gay issues. Ann Widdecombe, former Tory front bencher, branded the conference "misguided", while the majority of her colleagues stayed away. Asked about the low turnout of only 5 Tory MPs, deputy Tory chairman Charles Hendry, who organized the event, told The Herald: "This was not intended for hoards of MPs. It was for others to put their views on policy-making to us." We think actions speak louder than words.
