John, yesterday, Boris Johnson announced that he
wants to shut down Parliament in order to force the most dangerous
version of Brexit on our country.
Boris Johnson knows that
two-thirds of MPs and two-thirds of the public do not want to see
Britain crash out of the EU without a deal. He knows a No Deal Brexit
would cause shortages of food and medicine. He knows no one
voted for this kind of self-inflicted disaster.
As
Leader of the Liberal Democrats, I want to say loud and clear: We will
not allow Boris Johnson’s disregard for our democracy to overrule our
dedication to the British people. The Liberal Democrats will stand up
for the British people and do our job to protect this country against
Boris Johnson’s dangerous plot.
This is a clear and
urgent moment in our country’s history, and it’s not the
first time that the Liberal Democrats have been needed to stand up for
our fundamental democratic rights.
This is where we need your
help.
Boris Johnson is unilaterally threatening our country’s
future to satisfy his own personal no-deal Brexit vision.
He
is not fit to be Prime Minister.
But there is an
alternative.
The Liberal Democrats are fighting every
day to secure our place in Europe. We know that we are safer,
healthier and more prosperous when we work in cooperation with our
neighbours.
And we are the party of Remain. With every person
that joins our movement, we can shout with an ever louder voice that
we want to stop Brexit and Remain in the EU.
Will you
join the Lib Dems and help us stop Brexit?

Thank you.
Jo

of the Liberal Democrats
