Brexit was such a lie.
It’s actually made the U.K. poorer, more isolated, insular and less secure
And remember who led the drive that has made us more insecure - Farage alongside Johnson & Co.
The U.K. needs to accept its error and seek a closer union with Europe.

Carers are often the bedrock of our families and communities, unsung and sometimes unseen, striving for better care and advocacy, for those they care for, often at great personal cost.

Today is Carers Rights Day. Across the country people are caring for each other and dealing with tough times.
This isn't just Ed’s story. It's the story of millions, and that's who the Liberal Democrats will continue to fight for.

Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.
In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.
Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.
I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?
