60 UK Businesses back the Liberal Democrats

CAMPAIGN 2019 - 11 DAYS TO POLLING DAY Dozens of UK business leaders have backed the Liberal Democrats in an open letter, insisting Jo Swinson's party is the only one with a "credible plan for future prosperity". Senior figures from 60 companies as the New Covent Garden Soup Company, Superdry, Zoopla & Cazoo and Lovefilm are among business leaders who have endorsed the Liberal Democrats in a letter published in the I newspaper. The support comes as a Poll from YouGov found the Lib Dems are currently second place to the Tories in at least 80 seats.

This means that world trade disputes can no longer be adjudicated by an international court. (So much for Conservative claims that they will trade on WTO rules, something which no other country in the world does).
