The Liberal Democrats have leapfrogged Labour in European election polls, with 16% of voters intending to back Vince Cable's party.
A YouGov poll for the Times found Nigel Farage's upstart Brexit Party — which is just months old — up 1 point on 35%, while the Lib Dems were on 16%, up 1 point, and Labour were on 15%, down 1 point. The Conservatives were on 9%, down 1 point.
Speaking in Scotland on Thursday, Cable criticised Farage for spreading"dangerous fallacies" and said his assertion that the UK could adopt WTO rules under a no-deal Brexit were"completely untrue." The Conservatives, whose poll ratings have plummeted since Theresa May sought to extend Brexit until October, have barely campaigned for the European elections at all and have issued little direct challenge to Nigel Farage, and many of their MPs back his calls for a no-deal Brexit.
