Commenting on Theresa May’s Brexit speech at Mansion House, Vince Cable MP Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:

“May’s diminished authority is allowing Brexit extremists to neuter any chance she has at getting an acceptable deal for the UK.

“With a listless government beholden to hard-line Tories the only way to protect our future is ensure a referendum on the final deal. Surely, If May believes in her strategy, she would happily take it to the country.”
