"Our message today to the PM is clear: children before politics. Let's give these children safe passage" - @EdwardJDavey at @safepassageuk's rally for protecting refugee children. LibDems will continue to fight for them.

See Will Hutton's article in today's Observer. We're not going away.

Remainers won’t vanish on 31 Jan. We fight on, sure of our cause So at 11pm on 31st dismiss Johnson’s extravagant claims for the future & the faux celebrations. Light a candle in a window / your garden; find friends to do it with. We stand for a European Britain. We’ll be back.

Rebecca Long-Bailey making it crystal clear on #Ridge that Labour could campaign to leave if there is a second referendum if they can get the right deal. Labour just want Lexit. So don’t tell me voting Labour is the best chance of remaining. It really is not.

We were leaving the EU on 29 March. We didn't. We were leaving on 12 April. We didn't. We were leaving on 31 October. We didn't. Now it's 31 January, but what's the betting? It's time we grew up. Britain should be a leader in Europe, not a leaver. #StopBrexit

Why is there so little coverage by BBC of yesterday's People's Vote march ?

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

A weakened PM seems to have buckled and is going to propose a border in the Irish Sea. I try to avoid hyperbole if possible...but if this happens, it means the end of the United Kingdom. First Northern Ireland and then Scotland will go. No genuine Unionist will vote for that.

@markpack Best to try and get into the block of flats and put one through each letterbox ! I've seen piles of leaflets on the floor that don't get picked up or read

[Dick Newby @RichardNewby3]

.@UKLabour now look ready to adopt #peoplesvote strategy. This has only happened because of @LibDems success in Euro Elections. We must keep their feet to the fire to stop a disastrous Boris #Brexit

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Beaten the Tories nationally for the first time since 1906....

@cjsawer I didn't know that they were on ....yes, I've followed them since I was a teenager in the 60s ! Lucky you

[Janet Battye @BattyeJanet]

@JohnG_LDR Thank you ....keep going ......

[Janet Battye @BattyeJanet]

Nearly there ! Just 25hrs to go voting for #GBHSTodmorden #MyHighStreet

[Janet Battye @BattyeJanet]

The clock is ticking for the old Ferney Lee Grammar school building in Todmorden which shouldn't be demolished - it's part of our heritage. But Calderdale Council's excuse is "it's in the contract".

[John Greenwood @JohnG_LDR]

Still time for Tod morden to win the Great British High Street comp. #GBHSTodmorden #MyHighStreet

So keep posting, which is added to the voting...

.@LaylaMoran has revealed through parliamentary questions that Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab has failed to visit the Irish Border since his appointment in July 2018. ‘’This Government is trading the lives of the communities on the Irish border for their ideological Brexit”

[Janet Battye @BattyeJanet]

@cjsawer Yes, we are as well.......

[Janet Battye @BattyeJanet]

@Jamesdbaker1 Well said !
