Latest #sldconf session includes Qs sent in online; one says people are “oblivious” as to the party’s policies. MP Christine Jardine says she does try to talk about other policies, but Brexit is what voters really want to see action on Lib Dem conference stage
Christine Jardine claims the Lib Dems are “in a good place” amidst splintering of Labour and Tories, because they have history of working with both parties. She says the growth of the new Independent Group “will help us stop Brexit” by forcing a new referendum #sldconf
Asked about Brexit sparking “growing momentum” for indyref2, Christine Jardine says she thinks the SNP recognise that there isn’t an appetite for it. “People have seen what chaos we’re in because of leaving a union”.
