Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has officially launched her party's General Election manifesto at a cabaret club in Camden.

She told supporters to reject the "two old parties" of the Tories and Labour and said the country had "wasted" the past three-and-a-half years on Brexit.

Addressing supporters at the party's manifesto launch, she said: "Instead of addressing these very real problems, from in-work poverty and inequality and funding for our schools, the mental health crisis and the climate emergency, we have wasted the last three-and-a-half years talking about Brexit.

She added: "Whether Brexit is done by Boris Johnson, or sorted by Jeremy Corbyn, they are both gambling with your future."
