Britain | Brexit boom to Brexit bust? JO SWINSON TAKES OVER THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS THE PARTY’S POSITION IS MORE PRECARIOUS THAN IT FIRST APPEARS IT WAS, as usual, an upbeat atmosphere at
Proud Embankment. But the typical cabaret acts—including Chastity Belt, Vicious Delicious and Dave the Bear—were nowhere to be seen. Instead, the nightclub was adorned with bright yellow
“stop Brexit” banners as it played host to the announcement of a new Liberal Democrat leader on July 22nd. Raucous cheers greeted the declaration of Jo Swinson’s comfortable victory, with
63% of the vote, over Sir Edward Davey. This article appeared in the Britain section of the print edition under the headline “Swinson takes charge” ------------------------- BRITAIN July
