10 years on, the Brexit deal clearly isn't working.

Joining the single market would turbocharge our economy, end the chaos and put us back at the heart of Europe.

Today, we are calling for a bold new deal with Europe that will make Britain richer, safer, and stronger.

A Customs Union. Taking Britain back into the Single Market. Tearing down barriers to trade.

It’s time to end the chaos of the Conservative Brexit experiment, and put Britain back at the heart of Europe.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Labour’s red lines on Europe are holding Britain back.

Today I will set out our plan for a bold new deal with the EU to fix the damage done by Brexit, tackle the cost of living crisis and keep Britain safe.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

EXCL: Lib Dems will call for UK to immediately begin talks to rejoin the single market in notable strengthening of party position.

In a speech today, Ed Davey will challenge PM to scrap Labour’s red lines - including on free movement - and end what he describes as “torpor and timidity” towards EU.

He will also argue for a new European security council to counter mounting threats from Russia and unreliability of Donald Trump.

A two-state solution cannot survive while illegal settlements keep expanding.

The UK should cut off the finance enabling settler activity and help ensure free and fair Palestinian elections in 2027.

Issuing defence bonds would get £20billion into defence in the next two years.

The world has changed, and we need to respond. The government cannot afford to sit on their hands any longer.

Far too often, we see housing developers using viability assessments to duck out of building the affordable homes that our communities so desperately need.

Today in Parliament, I urged the Housing Minister to give local planning authorities the power to stop this from happening

Lib Dems are the only real green party in Britain, says @timfarron

The party’s environment spokesperson accuses Zack Polanski of abandoning the Greens’ ideals and says the Liberal Democrats are now the most committed to achieving net zero, writes @tmorrissyswan

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat.

So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard?

I can think of 5 million reasons why…

Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

The Lib Dem Defence Bonds Proposal has been on the table for several months and would solve the government defence spending crisis

@yupya12 @PaulGosling1 I am a legal migrant from NY. I was advised to leave my office early last night, to avoid walking home in Belfast alone, and today I was advised not to leave my home + all mtgs cancelled.

Why? Because I am Black. It was never about legal/unlawful immigration (which is falling!).

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

Nigel Farage is trying to exploit Henry Nowak’s murder to divide people – exactly what Henry’s father asked us not to do.

We need a different kind of politics that brings people together to stop knife crime.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

We are very sorry to hear the news of the death of Michael Meadowcroft on 1 June - author, activist, Liberal MP 1983-87, member of the Journal of Liberal History Editorial Board, a thoughtful and generous Liberal. We'll carry a full obituary in the summer issue of the Journal.
