Vince Cable calls for 'political adults' to work together against hard Brexit

Lib Dem leader urges Jeremy Corbyn to 'get off the fence' and attacks 'silly public school boys' who led referendum debate

Britain needs "political adults" to work together to halt a damaging Brexit, Vince Cable will tell the Liberal Democrat conference on Tuesday, urging moderate Conservatives and Labour MPs to work with his party.

Cable will also call on the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, to listen to the many pro-EU voters who backed him in June. "He would do better to get off the fence and refurbish his revolutionary credentials. Jeremy, join us in the Anti-Brexit People's Liberation Front," he will say in his first keynote speech as Lib Dem leader.
