Menzies Campbell, the long-serving Liberal Democrat MP who also led the party for 18 months, has died aged 84, his family have said.

Lord Campbell, usually known as Ming, died in London after a period of respite care, his grandson Gregor Grant-Suttie said in a statement. He had spent some of his final days watching last weekend’s Lib Dem conference.
