Brexit is 'elephant in the room' and UK must Tear down 'Tory' trade barriers, say Lib Dems

Quick Summary

Britain must "tear down the Conservatives' trade barriers" with Europe if the economy is to prosper again, the Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has warned.

Sir Ed called the Tories "a bunch of mutinous pirates" more interested in arguing over their own self-advancement than helping the British people.

The speech did not outline any new policies, but focused on the party's main arguments ahead of the local elections in May and then the general election next year.
