The Lib Dems confirm they have agreed electoral pacts with the Greens and Plaid in a “number” of seats

Details coming tomorrow

I’m at the Unite to Remain press conference where the organisation headed by Heidi Allen will reveal the seats where the Lib Dems, Greens and Plaid have agreed electoral pacts. Details coming at 10am.

Here are the 60 seats where the Lib Dems, Greens and Plaid have agreed pro-Remain electoral pacts

Lib Dems will get a clear run in 43 of the 60 seats in England and Wales, including a number of target seats like Cheltenham, Richmond Park and Cheadle.

Greens in 10, Plaid in 7.

Heidi Allen says this election is the last chance to stop Brexit: “This isn’t a normal GE... This GE is all about Brexit... They [the parties] know this GE is the last chance to change the path that this country is currently on.”

Plaid’s Liz Saville Roberts: “We have always put Wales’ national interest first... we know that any Brexit will be disastrous for the communities we represent.”

Lib Dem President Sal Brinton says many people in Unite to Remain “would have loved” to work together with Labour MPs but there are two issues: 1. “Corbyn stands for Brexit and this is about Remain” 2. Labour won’t countenance standing aside for Lib Dem candidates

Unite To Remain’s Pete Dunphy tells me the group had approached the Labour Party about working together in the early days of the campaign but they were strongly “rebuffed” by people in the Shadow Cabinet

Contrary to a few reports, the Greens are *not* standing aside in Beaconsfield (Dominic Grieve's seat)

Their PPC Zoe Hatch tells me Grieve's voting record on environmental issues needs challenging

Some anti-Brexit campaigners are concerned that Unite to Remain could help the Tories win in a few seats by taking votes from pro-referendum Labour incumbents
