Responding to the news that the EU27 have granted an extension until the end of January, Liberal Democrat Shadow Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake MP said:

"It is welcome news that a three-month extension has been granted. A no-deal Brexit would be catastrophic for our NHS, jobs, and the environment.

Amendment to Fixed-Term Parliaments Act could prevent Brexit deal coming back to Commons

Boris Johnson has been offered a route to securing the pre-Christmas election that he has been seeking, through a plan that would only require the support of a simple majority of MPs.

With most Labour MPs still against the idea of a snap election, the prime minister looks set to lose his bid to secure a December poll on Monday in a vote that requires the backing of two-thirds of MPs. Other parties are also opposing an election until the EU has granted a three-month Brexit delay, although the DUP hinted on Saturday it could back the move.

Could you persuade two people to vote Liberal Democrat? Could a group of you persuade 45 people? If so, then it could be you making the difference between adding another Remain voice to parliament - or letting in another voice for division.

I chair the all-party parliamentary group on bullying. We focus on helping young people and we know many schools now use the THINK acronym to teach good communication (Is it True; Is it Helpful; Is it Inspiring; Is it Necessary; Is it Kind?).

As a party, I think we need our own version of THINK:

The Liberal Democrats have always understood that without thriving businesses and motivated entrepreneurs, we would not have the wealth-creation, innovation, or international standing to create the free and fair society we all want.

Brexit threatens British business like never before - and neither the Conservatives nor Labour will stop it. It is clear that there is no deal as good for British business as the deal we currently have as members of the European Union.

The Liberal Democrats need YOU!

A general election is coming, and the Liberal Democrats are ready - but as the news cycle moves faster and the debates around issues like Brexit and the NHS become more heated, we need digital activists who can help fight the battle online.

That's where you come in. We want you to become part of the Lib Dem online champions community, where we'll be sharing the latest news out of HQ in the hopes of spreading our bold, ambitious campaign online on social media.

Moments ago, voting opened in the elections for Party President, and Federal Committees (including English, Scottish and Councillor Representatives).

Yesterday, I visited the (very secure) printer in Scunthorpe where the 13,000 postal ballots are being printed and I'm happy to confirm everything is very much on track and I've spent the morning triple checking the online ballot and emails.
