Lord Stevens of Ludgate defects to UKIP

Conservative peer, Lord Stevens of Ludgate, has today defected to UKIP.

Baron Ludgate was Chairman of Express Newspapers in the 90s and says that he has given up hope of David Cameron doing anything eurosceptic.

UKIP now has three members in the House of Lords with Lord Stevens of Ludgate joining former leader, Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Lord Willoughby de Broke.
