John, in the middle of this Brexit chaos, I want to
be 100% clear about where we stand.
Boris Johnson’s Brexit
deal has passed its first vote in the House of Commons, but make no
mistake: this is not a done deal.
The United Kingdom is still in the European
Union.
It’s with a heavy heart and immense
disappointment that I say Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal has only passed
because of Corbyn's Labour party.
Many Labour MPs voted for this deal, and Corbyn’s
weakness on Brexit has passed this deal.
We are now on the
path to Brexit – all because Jeremy Corbyn is not a Remainer and his
Labour MPs have bailed out Boris Johnson.
This is a
difficult night for our country, and I want you to hear this from me
and from the Liberal Democrats: you are not alone.
You have a strong team of Liberal Democrat MPs fighting your
corner in Parliament.
We are standing strong for our future.
We are growing the movement for a People’s
Vote.
We’re doing absolutely everything we can to
stop Brexit.
The vote in Parliament tonight is the
first in a long series of votes that Boris Johnson has to win - and it
does not mean that we have left the EU.
There are many opportunities left to stop Brexit.
Will you join the biggest, strongest party
of Remainers today, and stand with us?

Thank you.
The Prime Minister has a long
way to go before he forces his Brexit deal through.
Before that happens, the Liberal Democrats
are going to do everything we possibly can to stop Brexit.
Jo
Jo Swinson
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
