TIM FARRON: If you feel uncertain or anxious about the way our country

and our world is going, if you worry that the Conservatives are

embarking on the most extreme, divisive version of Brexit possible,

if you are fed up with a Labour Party fighting with itself

instead of holding the Government to account,

then this is your chance to change Britain's future.

You can change the direction of our country.

Theresa May has called this election

because she thinks it's a foregone conclusion.

She's looked at Jeremy Corbyn and thought this is her chance to

win a landslide.

Don't let her. Don't give her a blank cheque.

Don't give her a huge majority or she will just take you for granted.

The Liberal Democrats will be the strong opposition that Britain needs,

fighting for a Britain that is open, tolerant and united.

Vote for the Liberal Democrats and you can change Britain's future.
