Ministers agree to consider Lib Dem plans for new referendumVince Cable says move follows cross-party talks on Brexit deadlock options Considered ✅ Rejected as we haven't implemented outcome of 1st one yet ✅ A common sense way forward, not only for those who know Britain’s future is best if we remain in the EU but also for those who want a negotiated deal to be agreed – they surely must want public approval to guide a parliament that has otherwise roundly rejected the PM’a deal.

New bill would allow UK asylum seekers to work after three monthsBill introduced by Lib Dems – asylum seekers must currently wait a year or more I think this would be a good policy. At least it gives the opportunity for people who are here anyway, to make a positive contribution to society and be less reliant on tax payer funds.

After sleepwalking into the utter mess we are now in, the Conservatives have continued to show nothing but contempt for the British people and EU. History will not be kind to those that have voted for this complete shower. My faith in our country dies a little bit more each day

Jo Swinson MP: ‘I first wrote to my MP when I was about 10’The Lib Dem deputy leader talks about the inspiration for her activism and the motivation for writing her book about gender equality Bravo, Jo! 👏 “legislating to require companies to report their gender pay gaps.” Possibly the most pointless exercise in the known universe.

Tory MP Andrew Bridgen apologises for 'from the grave' joke about Paddy AshdownAndrew Bridgen shouted the remark as a Lib Dem MP spoke about the Brexit concerns the former leader expressed before his death. He is a nasty little man Revolting little man. People wonder where these yellow vest fascists get their agression from, it's fuelled by our so-called leaders in Parliament. It seems all the remaniacs are dying off.
