Swinson: Tories must act now

Lib Dem leader in talks with rebels and expects more defections

EXCLUSIVE

ANDREW

WOODCOCK

POLITICAL EDITOR

The Liberal Democrat leader,

Jo Swinson, has urged the so-

called “Gaukeward squad” of

pro-European Tory former

ministers to stand up and be

counted on Brexit – because

she fears not enough of them

will try to stop Boris Johnson

crashing the UK out of the EU

without a deal. Without naming

names, she made clear that the

group included not only those

who walked out

of the cabinet rather than

serve under Mr Johnson

(Philip Hammond, David

Gauke and Rory Stewart) but

also those who took

ministerial posts despite their

misgivings about EU

withdrawal (Amber Rudd and

Nicky Morgan).
