Some pro-lifers were hoping that despite his repeated avowal to not reopen the abortion issue, he would allow the many pro-life members of the Conservative caucus and swelling ranks pro-life candidates in [...]

Goodale said, “the Conservative Party leader should now end his lifelong boycott of Pride events [...]

He is a Conservative Member of Parliament, chairman of the eurosceptic European Research Group, and newly appointed Leader of the House of Commons.
