		Chris Huhne: Yes I think they are a waste of money, they are highly intrusive, the hidden agenda is compulsion, which means you would not be free to walk down the street without a card and presenting if asked to.

		Chris Huhne: I support the fact that the issue has been reported to the Security Council by the International Atomic Energy Agency; however I’m aware of the nature of the existing Nuclear powers including ourselves, Pakistan, India and Israel should all be subject to the same inspection regime.

		Chris Huhne is the sensible fellow, whose private life is in good order (so far as any of us know) and whose biggest drawback is his relative anonymity.
		Mr Huhne says he meant it when he said it, but he was later persuaded to change his mind, and Sir Menzies generously did not hold him to his promise.
		It is a long shot but just possibly Mr Huhne could be remembered as the man who took on the leadership of his party just 10 months after his career as an MP began.

	When Tony met Mary met Chris.. Independent on Sunday, The - Find Articles
		By remarkable coincidence, she also went out with Chris Huhne, an Oxford contemporary of Blair, who last week was tipped in the polls as the most likely contender to take over from Charles Kennedy as Liberal Democrat leader.
		The remarkable connections began in the early 1970s, when both Huhne and Blair were studying at Oxford, and as the strains of T- Rex, Slade and Fleet-wood Mac wafted across the quads of the colleges.
		Both Huhne and Blair had recently left top public schools: Blair was a rebel at Fettes in Edinburgh, known as the Eton of Scotland, and Huhne had studied at Westminster school in London.

		'Chris is bright, intensely ambitious and keenly aware of his own prowess as an economist,' remarks one frequent visitor.
		Huhne says they of course 'discussed the decision' before he threw his hat into the ring - although acknowledging that 'she perhaps did not think the chances of winning were quite as good as the latest poll suggests.'

	D-Day - [Sunday Herald]
		Chris Huhne, an MP for less than a year, is the LibDems equivalent of David Cameron: media-savvy, clean-cut, authoritative, he last week sounded like a voice-over actor urging his customers to “buy this product” in a deep, resonant tone.
		Huhne ticks all the right boxes: he mentions Lloyd George when he can, his “fairness agenda” and “fair, green, but not higher taxes”.
		Let’s just say Chris is a rich guy with rich friends and that when the votes are announced, it will be between Ming and me.” Huhne, says Hughes, only has a recognition factor in Westminster and the southeast.

		As Chris dashed between a meeting with Liberal Democrat members at the Town Hall and the Students at The Union we caught up with him to ask about some of the key ideas that he hopes will make him the leader of his party.

		A spokesman for Sir Menzies told Guardian Unlimited that Mr Huhne's call yesterday for a complete withdrawal of British troops by the end of the year was "naive populism".
		However, Mr Huhne's camp contacted Guardian Unlimited tonight to express their surprise at Sir Menzies' comments, saying that Sir Menzies had jointly authored an article in the Times on January 29 2005 in which he called for the withdrawal of British troops.
		But Sir Menzies' camp say their document challenges the Lib Dems to change and evolve, particularly on tax and spending, whereas Chris Huhne had been telling the party "only what it wants to hear" on Iraq and on renewing Trident.

		There was an early swing to Chris when he announced that he was standing.
