I'm somebody who challenges people in power - the EU, in government, in councils - but I am somebody who believes Britain is better off in the Europe… - Tim Farron

Plenty of my mates voted Leave, and I can tell you that the majority of those who did vote Leave are utterly appalled that Farage, Le Pen and their ilk now seek to claim the result as a victory for their hateful brand of intolerance, racism and insularity. Britain is better than that.

If we trusted the people to vote for our departure then we must trust the people to vote for our destination.

This is an opportunity to stop May in her tracks in her zealous pursuit of a disastrous hard Brexit, to keep Britain in the single market, to have a decent opposition to stand up to a Conservative government moving from crisis to crisis
