From Catherine Bearder MEP, Leader of the Lib Dem Group at the European Parliament

Wow! What a few days it has been. I wanted to write you a little message from Brussels about the incredible European election last Thursday and how we can build on from our stellar result. First of all can I just say a huge, huge thank you to all of you. In just three weeks, our activists put in a marathon effort to deliver millions of leaflets, bang in 'Stop Brexit' and 'Bollocks to Brexit' stakeboards and knock on thousands of doors (and this was on the back of an enormous effort to get all those wonderful councillors elected!).

Sir Ed Davey MP

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.
