Vince Cable says hard Brexit ‘can be stopped’ upon becoming Lib Dem leader

‘The new Liberal Democrat leader has called on pro-EU Conservative MPs to show courage and fight a hard Brexit, saying: “This process can be stopped.”
Sir Vince Cable told The Independent he believed many Tories were “holding their fire” and could be persuaded to join a cross-party campaign to force Theresa May to change course.
“The question is how many will be sufficiently courageous and forthright to come out,” he said, just moments after being crowned leader.
“We will give leadership on this issue. We will reach out to them [MPs], left and right.
“But it’s up to them as to whether they are willing to stand up and fight. If they are willing to, then this process can be stopped and the damage can be massively reduced.”’
