Lib Dems: Clive Lewis running scared of an election because of Labour's support for hard Brexit

Responding to Norwich South MP Clive Lewis voting against the triggering of an early General Election today, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate James Wright said:

"Clive Lewis is running scared of a General Election because he knows how unpopular Labour's decision was to give the Tories a blank cheque for a hard Brexit.

"This election is a chance to change the direction of the country.

"People in Norwich South voted decisively to Remain in the EU.

"They deserve to be represented by a party that is united in opposing a destructive hard Brexit.

"The Liberal Democrats are the real opposition to the Conservative Brexit Government and the only party fighting for a Britain that is open, tolerant and united."
