    On the same day the hideous Swinson comes out with this sanctimonious garbage, loudly trumpeted by the fraudian:

    Jo Swinson: Corbyn and Johnson are unfit to lead country

    Jo Swinson has ruled out backing a Jeremy Corbyn-led government after a general election, saying the Liberal Democrats could not even have an informal support arrangement with Labour, despite recent cooperation to block a no-deal Brexit.

    “The fundamental faultline now is between liberal and authoritarian values, and as Liberal Democrats we are clearly on one side of that. Both Labour and the Conservatives are having to straddle that faultline. That is why those two parties are creaking at the seams.”

    Swinson accused Corbyn of “totally, totally failing” to eradicate antisemitism from Labour, and said Johnson viewed politics as “a game”.

    Lib Dem numbers in the Commons have swelled in recent weeks as Chuka Umunna, who moved to the party shortly before Swinson became leader, was joined by fellow ex-Labour MPs Luciana Berger and Angela Smith, as well as the former Tories Phillip Lee and Sarah Wollaston and the byelection winner Jane Dodds.

    The new arrivals have caused internal tensions, with some Lib Dem activists complaining about “celebrity MP entryism” after Umunna and Berger were lined up for winnable London seats.

    Swinson said an influx of MPs was “a nice problem to have”, but conceded it could result in some existing candidates being asked to stand down: “That has to be managed, but I’ve been really impressed at how people have responded to that.”

    What an arsehole she is.
