I want to hear from you.
When I became your leader, a little over two months ago, I set our party a bold goal. I want us to overtake the Conservatives in membership and become Britain's second largest party.

Patient safety at risk this winter without significant funding & capacity boost for NHS
NHS Providers, the organisation that represents 97% of hospital, mental health, community and ambulance service trusts in England, is calling for an immediate emergency cash injection of between £200 and £350 million to enable the NHS to manage patient safety risk this winter.

Nick Clegg: Summer posturing has done little to advance Brexit
Writing in the Financial Times, Nick Clegg gives his assessment of where we are with Brexit at the moment.

He also sees Labour's so called great shift on the single market as nothing more than a statement of the obvious.

Vince Cable provides road map for “exit from Brexit”
Vince Cable has set out how the process of Brexit could be stopped, saying that there was a "strong possibility" of a further referendum on the facts.

He added: "The balance of probability is still that it does, but there is a strong possibility of it being stopped because tensions within and between major parties are so large, that one or other may want to let the public decide on the facts whether this is something they want to go ahead with."
