EXCLUSIVE

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).
