Angry campaigners are calling on Conservative leader David Cameron to name and shame the Tory MP who killed Andrew Gwynne’s anti-poverty bill. The bill, which would have prevented vulture funds profiting in Britain, was effectively killed when three Conservative MPs got into a huddle in the Commons, dropping their heads down, and then one shouted “Object!” Sally Keeble, Labour MP for Northampton North, accused the Conservatives of “duplicity” by pretending to back the proposed legislation, only to destroy it on the night. And Tom Harris, MP for Glasgow South, said: “Objecting to the bill was an act of political malevolence. We have the right to know the identity of the MP because the electorate should be able to judge whether he is a maverick acting outside the mainstream of his party or a central representative of Savid Cameron’s Conservatives.”
