A LIVERPOOL offshoot of controversial campaign group Fathers 4 Justice last night revealed it is to become a political party - just days after a plot was revealed to kidnap the Prime Minister's son.
Former F4J branch member Peter Molloy is one of several city men setting up the Equal Parenting Alliance, aimed at trying to change family law to recognise fathers' rights.
It comes as the national group, Fathers 4 Justice, announced it is to disband after police revealed they were investigating a 'plot' by one group of members to kidnap Tony Blair's youngest son Leo.
Mr Molloy's new group, EPA, is now in talks with a similar operation in Manchester, the Children First Party, over a possible merger of the two.
He said: "We decided that politics is the way to go now, and when we heard about Children
First, we decided to meet them. Most of our policies are the same, so we are in talks to amalgamate the two groups."
The 35-year-old plumber from Childwall has been campaigning for the last three years. He left F4J in 2004 just before a court case in which he and four others were cleared of causing a public nuisance in Liverpool, after they protested in Santa costumes on a bridge over the Strand.
He was involved with many awareness-raising stunts, including a protest on the roof of Belle Vale police station in 2004, and was found guilty of aggravated trespass.
