Today, we’re launching our EU manifesto. We’re running our campaign on a clear message – a vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to stop Brexit.

We were the first to call for a People’s Vote in 2016 – and we haven’t stopped fighting for it, nearly 3 years later. We want Britain to remain in the EU because it’s best for our economy, our public services and best for the environment.

The people who want to Remain will have to choose at these European elections. I think they will choose the strongest of Remain parties, which is clearly the Liberal Democrats.

Liberal Democrats demand better than Brexit.

Parliament is in deadlock, as Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn try and fail to push Brexit through. They’re failing to tackle climate change, rebuild our public services and fight the inequality that’s robbed opportunity from so many.

Let’s break the logjam – stop Brexit, and turn our attention to reuniting our country. Let’s build a Britain that’s truly internationalist, open and liberal.

So, without further ado, here’s our plan to fight these burning issues. Here’s our manifesto to stop Brexit.

Brexit is a national embarrassment.

1. We’re the party of Remain

With over 100,000 members and supporters, we’re the largest group in the country fighting to Stop Brexit and Remain in the EU.

We’re growing fast, too – more than 2,000 more members have joined us since the local elections alone.

We’ve been fighting Brexit for the past three years. We’ve consistently called for a People’s Vote and campaigned up and down the country to remain in the EU.

You could be part of the team that stops Brexit!

Did you see the local election results last week? We absolutely smashed it. 1351 new and returning Lib Dem councillors won seats – that’s over 700 more than 2015. We now have a real opportunity to convert that momentum into EU Parliament seats – will you come along and help us do that?

The Liberal Democrats made 703 gains in last week’s local elections – our best results ever. Given our nearly 3 years of campaigning for a People’s Vote, if you were Labour or the Tories, what Brexit lesson would you take from that?
