Lib Dems welcome three month extension that keeps us in the EU

Responding to the news that the EU27 have granted an extension until the end of January, Liberal Democrat Shadow Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake MP said:

“It is welcome news that a three-month extension has been granted. A no-deal Brexit would be catastrophic for our NHS, jobs, and the environment.

“Boris Johnson’s ‘do-or-die’ 31st October Brexit deadline has failed. We are still in the EU. The fight is far from over.

“Liberal Democrats will continue to fight to Stop Brexit. We passionately believe that there is no deal that is as good as the one we have now: in the EU.”
