Saturday 28th September 2024 NATIONAL REJOIN MARCH LONDON Park Lane, London 1pm: March Sets Off Parliament Square, 3pm, Rally Starts 4.30pm, Estimated End Time A legal, peaceful, fun and family friendly march and rally through iconic parts of London, starting at Park Lane and ending with a pro stage and excellent speakers (TBA) at the dynamic and modern Rally on Parliament Square. With our third annual event, our aim is to get the attention of the media and politicians to put #RejoinEU on the agenda, and then keep it there until we're back where we belong...in the EU. Since the end of World War 2, European countries coming together politically and economically has worked to keep the peace. We want to ensure that continues for our future generations, the ones who never got to vote in 2016 and now want to be heard! So come and join us on Saturday 28th September 2024 in London and be a part of history!
Poll comes as MPs and peers threaten to oppose leaving EU unless Theresa May releases details of deal sought Only a third of UK voters support Brexit unconditionally, according to a poll that suggests a widespread wish for the government to share the terms of the UK's departure from Europe before it embarks on the process.
The Lib Dems are clear: the government cannot negotiate in secret - it must tell the public the terms of the deal it strikes and hold a second referendum As leader of the Liberal Democrats, I have been clear that what started with democracy in June cannot end with a stitch-up. The government is determined to prevent any scrutiny of its plans, cook up a deal between Brussels and Westminster bureaucrats and foist it upon the country - a plan that no one will have voted for.
Since the vote to leave the European Union back in June, many of my friends have suddenly developed a keen interest in their Irish ancestry. Others have already bagged a German passport, a Cypriot passport, and permanent residency in Belgium. Everywhere, anyone with a parent or grandparent from elsewhere in Europe is clambering aboard a lifeboat out of Brexit Britain. Some of us however aren't able to contribute to the big, post-referendum spike in applications to become new Danes, Italians and Swedes. I was giving this a lot of thought last month. Sure, I want to keep my right to live, work, travel, study, retire, even start a business across the EU with the minimum of bureaucratic fuss and bother, but it's more than that. I am a European. I feel it in my bones. I don't want my EU citizenship ripped from my hands. I want to keep it.
When Nigel Farage asked this of Gina Miller on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday she was far too polite and politically unseasoned to respond in kind to this patronising and arrogant question. Well, Mr Farage, I would like to ask you what part of 'Advisory', 'Parliamentary Democracy' and 'Independent Judiciary', don't you understand. Moreover I think your question should be directed more at the people who you persuaded to vote Leave in the referendum.
As I tipped in Lib Dems set for new Party President election and the winner is likely to be… (spoiler: obvious answer coming), incumbent Sal Brinton has indeed been re-elected as Liberal Democrat President for a further (and final) two year term of office.
Four principle council by-elections this week, three Labour defences and one Conservative defence - and with a Liberal Democrat candidate in every single one. .
The Liberal Democrats are committed to transforming maternal and neonatal care and ensuring inclusive care for all, so we can create a safer, more compassionate healthcare system for everyone.
Our market system should balance businesses’ needs and the rights and freedoms of workers.
The last ten days have been immensely difficult for our country.
