Two years ago Brexit seemed inevitable. Now, with 117 Conservative MPs unable even to support the Prime Minister as Conservative leader, it is hard to see how she can get any version of her deal through when the Commons returns in January. 

Brexit is a national embarrassment

Brexit is a national embarrassment. The events of the last few weeks have proven that the government is in absolute chaos.

1. Thersa May rules out revoking Article 50

The ECJ rules that No Brexit is an option but Theresa May blindly ploughs ahead with her broken deal. We were given the option to get out of this mess and Theresa May turned it down.

Only by having a People’s Vote will Theresa May listen and cancel Brexit before it’s too late.

.@Theresa_May‘s deal is a total mess and is the latest backdrop for yet another Conservative meltdown over Europe.

The Tories are engaging in another self-indulgent internal spat which won’t resolve their deepening divisions.#BrexitChaos

Earlier this year, we enjoyed our best council election results in 15 years. We snatched control of councils like South Cambridgeshire, Kingston-upon-Thames and Richmond upon Thames from the Conservatives. And in cities like Hull, Sunderland and Liverpool, we gained ground against complacent Labour councils who’ve taken their residents for granted.

Next year over 9,000 council seats and the control of councils around the country will be in the balance. It’s a huge chance to build on our successes and make more headlines for the Liberal Democrats.

After years of putting pressure on the Government, on Tuesday they agreed major concessions on the Tenant Fees Bill.
