Two more MPs back Huhne

MPs Matthew Taylor (Truro and St. Austell) and John Leech (Manchester Withington) are now on board for Chris – confirming that his momentum is continuing to grow.

Matthew Taylor said:

“I have taken my time to decide this time, because both candidates have excellent qualities. The pressures of the campaign hustings, interviews and debates reveal a lot about leadership quality, and over and over Chris Huhne has shown experience counts when it matters most – under pressure.

“I am sure Nick Clegg will one day make an excellent leader too, but Chris has shown that he has right now what it takes to win in the toughest arena of them all, head to head with the other Party leaders. Taking on Gordon Brown, and side-lining the Conservatives, is a tough call, and I think Chris Huhne has shown himself the best equipped to do it. “
