Chaos and Crisis – Jo Swinson

by Steve Beasant on 18 December, 2018

Brexit is a national embarrassment – the last few weeks in particular have been an absolute shambles. Deputy Leader Jo Swinson reflects on everything that’s happened.

The following article was written by Jo Swinson and published on Dec 14 on the Lib Dem Website.

The Prime Minister pulled her Brexit vote, then her own MPs turned on her, as if what the country needed right now was a Conservative leadership election. The EU made crystal clear the limits of any deal, and still the Brexit fantasists ignore the evidence, pretending a land of milk and honey awaits if we crash out in March.

While the Liberal Democrats have been fighting for a final say on the Brexit Deal for more than two years, the Tory party have been putting party before country: refusing to give Parliament a role and refusing to give the people the final say.

Depressingly, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party have been happy to sit on the sidelines and watch as the Conservative Government’s disastrous Brexit tears this country apart.

In Parliament and across the country, the Liberal Democrats are the only party fighting for you to have a final say.

We are taking every opportunity to push for a people’s vote in Parliament. When the time comes, we need to be ready.

We are preparing for the next stage of our campaign.

Can you help make sure we are ready?
