Absolutely no need for a referendum if rejoin is a manifesto commitment. That's not how we do things. Any referendum is only advisory. Parliament is sovereign.

And that's precisely why parliament shouldn't farm out a decision this important to the public in a referendum.

In today’s interconnected world, isolationism simply does not work. It’s time to move beyond the politics of grievance and focus on the art of the possible. For me, that means facing up to the reality that Brexit has catastrophically failed, and that the status quo cannot continue.

Boris Johnson’s claims about asking whether Russia interfered in Brexit are misleading. He didn’t ask for any formal assessment and nor did he receive a categorical response. Anyone printing a notorious liar’s disingenuous comments is engaged in deliberate obfuscation.

Brexit has weakened Britain economically and politically. Businesses are drowning in red tape, and young people are being denied opportunities across Europe. The Liberal Democrats have a clear roadmap to rebuild our ties with the EU. It is time to repair the damage Brexit has done.

I welcome the Prime Minister’s admission that the Brexit deal is a disaster for our economy, but the real test is: will he drop Labour's red lines that stop us fixing it? Today he says no – so we have more work to do!

If true, this is a backward step from the government. Not only will it fund just a fraction of the money needed to fulfil the Defence Investment Plan, but it sends a terrible signal about this government’s green ambitions.

Despite that long list of achievements you're not gracious enough to accept that they did pretty well as a junior coalition partner. The Lib Dems achieved more than Starmer did with his huge majority.

OK, the referendum on AV was all they could get out of the Tories. Its not PR. We're talking Lib Dem manifesto achievements. The Tories had their own. Scrapping Sure Start was a bad decision. I'm sure your aware that the Lib Dems prevented the Tories from more severe austerity and Labour's plans.

The Lib Dems have been loud. They just aren't being heard. I grant you that's partly their fault but mainly the media. The media were the same when the Alliance was at 50% in the polls, when Paddy Ashdown was Lib Dem leader and every leader since.
