Don’t believe the lie that centrism is dead
There has been a reboot of organisations working on the big ideas to address the problems that sparked the Brexit vote, and they’ll only expand from here as the appetite for a Final Say grows stronger
What I think
Politics and the Constitution
This is why I joined the Liberal Democrats
I thought that Britain needed a new party. I thought that was what the millions of politically homeless people in Britain wanted. I was wrong.
Gove’s challenge is dead, so let’s now focus on the drug trade instead
Young people from Streatham are being used to traffic drugs to other parts of Britain. Behind much of the violence we see lies illegal drug markets with all the tragedy, death and destruction that brings.

Remain parties must ditch tribalism and work together to stop a no-deal Brexit

Any other Labour leader would instinctively back Remain in a People’s Vote
The Labour leader has made a nominal promise to push for a second public vote. But the truth is he will be intensely relaxed if it never comes to pass
