	The veil gives sex appeal a new meaning
		She has turned her back on Taunton, the Somerset constituency she lost in June, and moved to Teheran, the capital of an Islamic regime demonised by the West, where she is discovering the pleasures of the veil and pursuing an academic career.

		She is, however, taking an interest in the selection contest in Taunton to choose the Lib Dem candidate for the next election.
