Vince set for Brexit battle

THE Lib Dems are braced for a major Brexit row at their first conference with Sir Vince Cable as leader.

They have been forced to hold a debate on Europe to head off a “hard core” who want the party to back staying in the EU.

Currently it promises a referendum on the final deal. Chiefs fear losing votes in key Brexit areas.

A source said: “It’s typical Lib Dem. So many joined over the EU. Others want a referendum.”
