Responding to the shock resignation of the British ambassador to the EU, Ivan Rogers, Tim Farron said:

“It is damning when our own top people are slamming this Conservative Brexit government for using ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking.

“This is the biggest decision by the UK Government in modern times and Theresa May is marching ahead without a plan or even a clue.

“We need out top people around the table if we are going to avoid wrecking the country with Brexit. It is shameful that vital, talented people like Ivan Rogers are instead being driven away.”

Rogers resigned yesterday, urging his staff ‘to continue to challenge ill-founded arguments … and never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power’.

We’re looking for volunteers to join the Focus delivery team in St Mary’s and Holyrood wards.

Getting our message out there to voters is really important. One way we do this is by delivering regular mailings to residents to make sure they are kept up to date with our campaigns.

If you can spare some time (as little as an hour a month) on a regular basis to help expand our delivery team it would be greatly appreciated and would make a huge difference to our campaign effort! You can help by delivering in your local area or further afield if you wish – it’s completely up to you.

As well as having regular delivery rounds available we also have group deliveries each week and take part in action days every fortnight. Action days are where we get together as a team to do delivery or canvassing. They can be great fun and make campaigning more social!

Our next action day will be on Saturday 21st January. More details will be sent closer to the date via email. You can also keep up to date with campaign events by joining our Facebook group.

If you have any further questions about taking on a regular delivery round or taking part in an action day then please get in touch with Louise at organiser@burylibdems.net
