The Independent reports that Craig Murray, our outspoken former ambassador to Uzbekistan, is going to stand against Jack Straw in the general election. He intends to use his campaign to ask lots of embarrassing questions.

He is [...] making extraordinary allegations, the most damaging of which is that Britain is using information obtained from torture to imprison people indefinitely.

The election needed livening up a little bit, so many thanks to Mr Murray.
