REMAINERS are facing a final defeat with the Liberal Democrats preparing to drop the party's commitment to UK membership of the EU in a vote during its virtual annual conference next weekend.
A resolution at the first conference under the leadership of Sir Ed Davey will not make re-joining the EU a formal target, and will be agreed by the party's federal policy committee, The Independent has reported. But the move will trigger a backlash from Remainer activists, who will table an amendment to insist on a commitment to re-join the EU. The motion will insist the Lib Dems “keep all options open” for the UK’s future relationship with the bloc.
