His claim is based on research carried out by the Liberal Democrats which shows that nearly a third of David Cameron's shadow cabinet voted against gay rights legislation over the last two parliaments. David Cameron himself voted against legislation to repeal section 28, which for a long time banned local authorities and schools from 'promoting' homosexuality, in 2003.

We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up.
