Whether you’re leave or remain, Theresa May just betrayed you on Brexit
Nine out of 10 voters want Britain in the single market, yet May is ripping us out. Only the Lib Dems are fighting to oppose this treachery Today's speech on Brexit was yet another hopeless attempt by the prime minister to mask the fact that the government has absolutely no strategy when it comes to the most defining issue facing our country for decades.

The Brexit that Theresa May set out today is not what the people voted for. They deserve another say
Brexiteers claim that Leave was a vote against an arrogant political elite. How ironic, then, that our country's course is now to be determined by a leader who has not faced an election even in her own party, let alone the country So now, at last, we know what Theresa May has decided shall be our future in Europe - or, rather, our future out of it. What she has called for is a fundamental break with our neighbours, our culture and our past - a break of the kind never discussed during the referendum campaign.

The other left me depressed and worried about the future direction of our country. It was a rather dry lecture from a philosopher that gave me hope. It was the Prime Minister who gave me cause for worry. Prof AC Grayling told an audience in Bristol that Brexit was a national emergency to which we should respond with all forms of peaceful resistance. Theresa May set out her Brexit plan and it's much harder to bear than I feared. After losing my seat in the 2015 general election it would have been easy to have melted into the political background. But the calling of the EU referendum meant that I quickly rediscovered my political mojo. I threw myself into campaigning for a Remain vote in Bristol. I worked with Liberal Democrat colleagues but also was one of the founders of Bristol Stronger In. Working with people from other parties and none was uplifting. But in the early hours of

Do you think you could run the Lib Dems better? Here’s your chance
The Liberal Democrat Federal Board (whose role in the party is a bit like the board of directors of a company) will shortly be holding a series of elections for various key party posts. Some of these are posts where the candidates have to be members of the Federal Board, such as the two Vice Chairs of the Federal Board we'll shortly be electing. But many of them are open to any party member to apply for.
