The Liberal Democrats have deselected a former journalist with “Christian beliefs” only 10 months after he was chosen to be the candidate in one of their top target seats.

David Campanale claimed earlier this week, during an interview with GB News, that activists in Sutton and Cheam, a Conservative-held constituency in southwest London, had turned against him after learning of his faith.
