Reacting after last night's ITV debate Deputy Leader Liberal Democrats Ed Davey said:
"Tonight Jo Swinson clearly outperformed all the other candidates, especially Boris Johnson's personal cheerleader Nigel Farage.
"While the usual stand-ins turned up and parroted tired old lines, she made the positive case for why the Liberal Democrats will build a brighter future in the EU.
"It's clear now that the only way to take seats off the Tories, deny Johnson a majority and stop Brexit is to vote Liberal Democrat."
