pro—europe and proud, the liberal democrats are clear they want to stop brexit. this weekend is how. so far, it‘s been all about another referendum. but the party leader wants to go further and campaign to pull the plug on leaving the eu if it wins a general election. the policy that we are debating at conference today is very clear. if the liberal democrats at the next election win a majority, if people put into government as a majority government the "stop brexit party", then, stopping brexit is exactly what people will get. yes, we will revoke article 50. it‘s an easy sell to most members here who see stopping brexit as their mission. we will put an end there and then to the brexit nightmare that is dragging the whole country down, and tearing us apart. but there is some uneasiness at overturning the result of a referendum without putting the question to the public again. if we end up in a coalition — it could happen — we aren't going to be pushing through revoking article 50. i mean, i hope we'll get a people's vote, but i don't want to be in a position again

you are the liberal democrats, is it not anti—democratic to overturn the result of the referendum withoutpeople again? it will be no surprise to people if, having elected us in a majority government, that we then deliver on that policy. until then, of course, because we've not yet got a general election campaign, we will continue to campaign for a people's vote. life's not bad for the lib demsjust now. record membership, signs from opinion polls in the recent european elections that their anti—brexit message is winning them support, and yet another mp coming on board. the former conservative sam gyimah is the latest to jump ship. his defection last night delighted delegates, but some here are worried that welcoming former tory and labour mps with such open arms will weaken the liberal democrats' identity. and then what? do you scrape it? cancelling brexit without another referendum would only be possible for the lib dems if they won a general election — unlikely, but that won't stop them from doing their best to build on their recent success. jonathan blake, bbc news, bournemouth. police

the liberal democrats suddenly rose. all of the increasing liberal democrat support such that they are now running at 18% has occurred amongst remain voters, and the principal source of that are people who voted labour in 2017. so the remain vote has got split as a result. so yes, those on the remain side of the fence have to think about actually even though it is not clear, that is what could come out of an election, if indeed the remain vote remains divided. some talk of an electoral pact, i think frankly deeply unlikely. 0ne pact, i think frankly deeply unlikely. one thing borisjohnson has to worry about, is that the labour party takes off in 2017, squash the liberal democrats or conversely the liberal democrats do. if the remain vote concentrates on one of those two parties life could be more for borisjohnson. perhaps more subtly a question to ask is will it be the case that in constituencies where it is clear the liberal democrats are the principal challengers to the conservatives, will labour voters go, you know wh

that, as things stand today, that's what i would be doing — voting liberal democrat.it will dominate and success for the lib dems will depend on traditional party allegiances shifting. vicki young, bbc news, dorset. the england cricketer ben stokes has described a front page article in the sun newspaper about a family tragedy which happened 31 years ago as "immoral" and the "lowest form ofjournalism". in a statement, he said the paper's decision to publish the story would have "grave and lifelong consequences for his mother in particular". the sun has told the bbc that the events it describes were a matter of public record. our sports editor dan roan has more details. from world cup winner to ashes hero, this has been a season to savour for ben stokes, but just two days after the final test of the summer, english cricket's biggest starfinds himself embroiled in a bitter row with the sun newspaper, over what he condemned as an immoral and heartless article about a family tragedy more than 30 years ago — the details of which the bbc has chosen not to repeat. in a statem

the most obvious place to start is with the liberal democrats today.g this policy that they hope will get through their conference that would effectively abandon their previous commitment to a further referendum on the brexit arrangements and opening up the possibility of people voting to remain in after all, and instead opting for a position of revoking article 50. what do you make of that shift? i think what the referendum showed three years ago and what we have seen since is the country is deeply divided. on the one hand you have a government that is pursuing a form of brexit that was never really discussed during the referendum, and on the other you have a party now saying they want to cancel the whole thing. i think on both sides that's quite dangerous. having been through a referendum, i am no great fan of them, but i think we have to now resolve this through another referendum that would take whatever leave option comes back from brussels against remain and seek to resolve it that way rather than try to ram through an outcome that doesn't have t

tim it just went and gave a speech in about 24 hours at that have a liberal democrat conference without blairite labor and austerity tories on board she was claiming credit for knife crime reductions in glasgow what's the s.n.p. going to do against the lib dems. i apologize for how celebratory sluicing have anything at all to do tonight chemical is utterly laughable abuse and some of us get on with this going to go to one of the scottish parliament for the last 10 years nothing at all to do that myself as a west as m.p. have said nothing to do with jocelyn's us a little den of westchester m.p.'s not just the the the evidence claims that just winds made it kind of laughable and the more which is out of their suspects are supposed to stop but except party but some of you who will be aware that if they go loot back of this account of the record of that 25th of february 2008 just wish it was a start but accident be the start but until she was the one who was calling for but accidentally ended and it went it to backwoodsmen it feel like we're only looking for the president of the lisbon trea

in your body what sort of party is the liberal democrats if it allows him in. his wark sarah willis to promote her will stare at the angelus smith who talks about funny tinge journalists of people of color who join the budget for the mock reggae have at the say it's a pause he looks. good. in the box go to the bottom of it without a list of irrelevant comments look him in the sky. those who defected to the lib dems from labor and conservative put their careers in the law in many cases they've recognised it thrown their careers away they've done so at the principles of the people of principle of the ones who are defecting if you need difficult thing to do to defect to any party the ones you should be criticising other people in tory party and labor party for that matter who mumble under their breath this is terrible i don't like the way my party's going it's all wrong i do nothing keep their mouths shut these guys are stood up being counted he explicitly spoke out against the pardoning of people who were ill g.b.t. who had been convicted prior to equality legisl

they refused to a cce pt the liberal democrats.ept the sovereign voice of the people. they have worked constantly to delayed and an set. and now they wa nt to to delayed and an set. and now they want to cancel brexit altogether. telling the public they will not be listened to until the day with diva house that —— until they agree with guy verhofstadt. it makes marie antoinette seem like a model of humility. applause. voting liberal democrat does not get backed down, but it risks something else, prime minister jeremy corbyn. voting for any party other than the conservatives risk letting labour into power and carbon back into downing street. labour government would not get brexit done. they want to prolong a membership of the eu. and they want to negotiate for many months and then agree a deal, but only on the eu's turns and then hold another referendum in which they will be prepared to say that we should stay in the eu forever. when we should be getting on with improving education, strengthening the nhs, fighting crime and creating

jeremy corbyn is just not going to be the interim prime minister wanted by the liberal democrats andinson stop we are now facing this different move. because, of course, prorogation did not happen and parliament is still in session. it is. we could be good news for the train company and short flight news for the train company and short flight airlines. as was said, the liberal democrats have said they will not put jeremy corbyn in downing street as prime minister. dave margaret beckett, seen to be from labour, would get wider support across political parties but it is, by convention, jeremy corbyn's right to form a government first up. and he does not want it to be somebody else. on monday, we will be how many days away from the 31st of october? 31. in the metro, a picture of the banner taken down demanding the death of conservatives... it is viol. this banner with effigies hanging underneath the bridge. it is a further coarsening of the public debate we have seen in recent weeks. it really is immensely depressing to consta ntly it really is immensely depressing to constantly read thi

as he stood to speak, one of his mps, philip lee defected to the liberal democrats.nt. wto, the world trade organisation. we are on the verge... and just as he walked into the chamber, a letter from mr lee was deliverred to the prime minister — accusing him of "aggressively pursuing a damaging brexit in unprincipled ways". with that defection, the prime minister's lost his working majority of one. now with the dup the government comes in at 319. the opposition is at 20. some opposition mps were quick to react. labour mp wes streeting. .. this is the leader of the opposition, jeremy corbyn. this bill does not close other options to resolve the brexit impasse. this bill is about preventing a damaging no—deal which this government has no mandate for and for which there is very little public support. the bill is designed purely to provide vital breathing space, to find an alternate way through the brexit mess this and the previous government have created. today, mr speaker, is another historic day in parliament. it's our chance to seize this last opportunity, to stand up
