Theresa May must pass law to stop no-deal Brexit before she leaves, former cabinet minister warns

Sir Ed Davey warns hard Brexit PM could stop parliament from sitting to prevent MPs blocking no-deal withdrawal Theresa May must use the dying days of her premiership to pass a law to prevent her successor taking Britain out of the EU in a no-deal Brexit against the will of parliament, a former cabinet minister has said.

We can't turn our back on democracy just because an ultra-hard Brexiteer might be entering No 10

Let us pass over the irony of Brexiteers claiming their dying wish was to restore sovereignty to the 'mother of parliaments' and then conspiring to muzzle it. Let us instead call such a Brexit putsch for what it would be: an attack on democracy itself. Brexit has threatened everything from our economy to our sanity: now it is coming for British parliamentary democracy.

And another supporter

European elections 2019: what will happen in the East Midlands?

The East Midlands was a UKIP heartland area during the party's peak years of 2013-14, and 59% of its voters backed Leave in the Brexit referendum. UKIP topped the poll here in the last European parliament elections, but their supporters have almost all now switched to the Brexit Party. According to the latest polling, they are guaranteed two of the region's five seats. Labour and the Liberal Democrats are almost certain of a seat each. The last of the region's five seats will depend on whether the Conservatives' vote collapse can be stemmed. If not, Farage's party will likely pick it up. With voters able to cast only a single vote for a party list, the Democratic Audit team reviews likely outcomes and the main potentially electable candidates.

Revitalising Town Centres and High Streets

Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.

Preserving Trial by Jury

The right to a trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our democracy for over 800 years. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new plan to tackle court backlogs without scrapping juries.
