Surrounded by Lib Dem women candidates and MPs, Jo Swinson this afternoon said that the Lib Dems were considering legal action to make sure the voice of remain was heard in the leaders’ debates. Watch her here.
.@ITV: It's nonsense to suggest that your TV debate should go ahead Leave Vs Leave, with no voice for the millions of people who voted to Remain who want to #StopBrexit and stay in the EU.

And it looks like Jo has people on her side. Even Conservative voters want her on that stage.

Jo Swinson will be on the BBC2 Victoria Derbyshire Show at 10.30 am today 5/11/19
also on BBC News (channel 200 on FreeSat).
5th Nov ’19 – 10:11am
Victoria Derbyshire said in the introduction that Liberal Democrats would not join with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party, but did not say that we would not join with Boris Johnson.
Luciana Berger said that we want to turn the area yellow. No, that is the SNP colour.
We want GOLD, (for printers Pantene gold).
