From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir George Malcolm Thornton (born 3 April 1939), known as Malcolm Thornton, is a British Conservative politician. He was MP for Liverpool Garston between 1979 and 1983, when boundary changes led to him changing seats to Crosby - where he unseated SDP founder Shirley Williams who had won the seat from the Conservatives in the 1981 by-election. Thornton himself lost the seat at the 1997 election to Labour's Claire Curtis-Tansley (later Curtis-Thomas).
