Lib Dem in new sex scandal

Lib Dem candidate offered her services as a stripper and ran sex phone lines when she was elected to a town council, it has emerged.

Myrna Bushell, 34, advertised herself as 'Jessica – kissogram and stripper'on a website, serving 'niche markets such as novelty adult entertainment'.

She was elected along with her husband, Mel, to the town council in Bideford, Devon, in May.

It also came to light that Mrs Bushell was not a member of the party, though she appeared on ballot papers as a Lib Dem and attended party meetings.

Now three of the party's local councillors have resigned over the matter, complaining that their 'integrity and principles' are being compromised
