- On Sunday, Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper outlined a growth plan at the party's Brighton conference, proposing a 'Growth and Defence Partnership' with Europe to reverse Brexit-related economic damage.
- Cooper warned that a 'computer says no' approach hinders Britain, as the proposal aims to stop start-ups from leaving the UK while reversing Brexit's estimated £90bn annual cost in lost tax revenue.
- A new Department for Growth would combine tax, regulatory, legal, and Companies House services to help small and medium-sized businesses compete by creating a digital one-stop-shop.
- Stating that Britain 'belongs at the heart of Europe,' Cooper pledged that a Liberal Democrats government would strike deals on the single market, customs union, and defence.
- Attacking Labour, the Conservatives, and Reform for lacking credible costings, Cooper warned against Nigel Farage, whom she accused of modeling his politics on President Trump.
