Like you, I woke up on the 24 June with that sinking feeling in my stomach. It was then that I decided I would fight back. As Chair of Lib Dem Lawyers, I organised a conference on 2nd July 2016 which asked should there be another referendum.
Ever since, I have devoted myself with you and others to the fight back. Now, rather than leaving on 29th March, we are joining in the European Elections.
Brexit has not only ripped our country apart, but has exposed a social crisis and democratic deficit. If I become your MEP,
I will dedicate myself to overcoming these problems.
Best wishes,
Graham
