Save Eramus!
When I launched our petition to save studying abroad, I didn't quite expect the reaction we got. In no time at all, we've collected almost 10,000 signatures and our campaign is growing bigger every second.

Dramatic Lib Dem gain from 4th place in Sheffield
Pre-2010 this was a Labour / Lib Dem ward with the Lib Dems winning out in 2008, but then the Lib Dem slide started with Labour winning in May 2010. By 2014 the Lib Dems were third and in 2015 fourth. No longer. Congratulations Gail Smith, who previously had been a councillor for this ward 2008-12. Note again the slump in the Ukip vote, this time in a ward where the party had moved up to being the challenger to Labour in recent years.

The Liberal Democrats will fight Brexit. Labour is not doing its job
More than two months have passed since the referendum and those of us who campaigned to remain have had some long, hard thinking to do. For Theresa May and the Conservatives, the painstaking task of delivering Brexit has begun - or at least it should have. For Labour, it is still deciding whether it's even a pro-European party. Owen Smith has made clear he wants it to be, but Jeremy Corbyn's ambivalence was plain for all to see in the referendum campaign, and he has already made clear he wants to see the Brexit process get underway.

Tim Farron MP writes…A Liberal Democrat plan for Britain in Europe
Yesterday I announced a plan to keep Britain at the heart of Europe. First and foremost, I believe the British people should be given the right to vote on the government's negotiated Brexit deal. Voting for a departure is not the same as voting for a destination. This is not an attempt to re-run the first referendum; we must respect the result. But the British people should be allowed to choose what comes next, to ensure it is right for them, their families, their jobs and our country. Our relationship with Europe affects our economy, our security, climate change, our influence in the world and so much more.
