Why the resurgent Liberal Democrats are Labour’s biggest headache
As conference meets in Brighton this weekend, the Labour delegates will have to navigate a volatile political landscape Polling and Brexit policy are certain to be high on the agenda this weekend as Labour activists gather in Brighton for their annual conference. A volatile political year has transformed the political landscape since the last annual gathering. The polls were upended this spring in the wake of Theresa May's failure to secure a Brexit deal and departure from Downing Street, with surges in support for two parties representing opposite extremes of the Brexit debate - Nigel Farage's newly founded Brexit party and the strongly pro-EU Liberal Democrats. Support for the Brexit party has faded since (they score 12% in this week's Opinium poll), but the Lib Dems have held on to their gains and are now nipping at the heels of Labour - the poll gives 17% to the Lib Dems and 22% to Labour (who are 15 points behind the Conservatives on 37%).

Against very familiar rivals, Jo Swinson will be the wild card of the election
The latest defection to their ranks will embolden optimistic Lib Dems to think that we are on the verge of a big realignmen. David Steel once told a Liberal conference to "go away and prepare for government". They went away and remained in opposition. Vince Cable once said that he could imagine himself becoming prime minister. Which is where that idea stayed: in his imagination. Nick Clegg did take them into government during the coalition years, an experience that ended with the Lib Dems losing all but eight of the 57 MPs they started with five years earlier.
