'We stand ready' Change UK interim leader Heidi Allen says European elections are chance to demand a 'people's vote' to stop Brexit as she launches party's campaign
A number of parties have begun launching their campaigns for the European Parliamentary elections after Theresa May agreed a Brexit delay until 31 October with the EU.
The three Conservative MPs blamed"a shift to the right" in their party and the government's"disastrous handling of Brexit", while Labour MP cited their party's stance on leaving the EU, along with the leadership's handling of anti-Semitism. He said UK politics was"a worldwide joke", and accused pro-Brexit campaigners, such as Nigel Farage, of"stealing our patriotism".
