Vince Cable launched a new Lib Dem campaign poster today.
This is how he explained it:
This week has been about manifestos
To understand what is going on you have to listen to the voices of the people who are Mrs May’s cheerleaders and admirers.
Nigel Farage. He purrs like an elder statesman, his job done.
He said of the Prime Minister “she is using exactly the words and phrases I have been using for 20 years. I’m thrilled”
He should be. She has adopted wholesale the UKIP model of Brexit. No half measures. Out of the Single Market. Out of the customs union. Out of all the sensible cooperation around science and environment. The agenda of the hard right.
And not just on Europe. Do you remember the man who smiled with President-elect Donald Trump in a gold-encrusted lift? Who used his good offices to secure a meeting for our Prime Minister. Her hand-holding. Backing for the Trump administration. The close bonding. The treat of a state visit to come. Not that it achieved anything. The tough American trade negotiators have made it clear that economic size, not sentiment, determines priorities: the EU before the UK.
