Lib Dems Admit Religious Discrimination; £790,000 Damages in Dispute

The Liberal Democrats admitted unlawful religious discrimination against former candidate David Campanale under the Equality Act, which protects people from workplace bias. A London court must now set damages. Campanale claims £790,000 for lost earnings, pension, and lost political standing. The party calls the figure "grossly inflated," proposing £14,000 for emotional distress alone.
