Flailing Farron asks voters to 'imagine their mums had a fall' in bizarre anti-Brexit rant
TIM FARRON scraped the bottom of the barrel in tonight’s ITV Leaders’ Debate asking the audience to imagine if their “Mum has a fall” and there are not enough health workers to look after her.

Mr Farron caused Ukip leader Paul Nuttall to look up to the sky as he used the example as a reason why EU citizens should be given the right to stay in the UK.
The Liberal Democrat leader said: “Imagine your Mum has a fall and then imagine those one in four people in our National Health Service who are from overseas aren’t there anymore and you remember that the people who are working in this country from other countries are hardworking, caring and decent just like the rest of us.”
Mr Nuttall looked unconvinced as the Remainer pushed on with his argument for the British public to have a second vote on Brexit, during the ITV debate.

Tim Farron said: “When we look at our National Health Service and we realise that a quarter of the people working in the National Health Service are from overseas, the vast chance of which are from the European Union, we realise that when we refuse to give those folks from the EU the right to settle here with their children, not only are we doing something utterly immoral, we’re doing something that is damaging our own future.
“This is the problem that Theresa May’s Brexit plans, backed by Jeremy Corbyn. She is putting together a plan which appeases the Paul Nuttalls and Nigel Farages but damages our children’s future.
Looking to the TV cameras, he added: “That is why you should have the final say on the Brexit deal, not the politicians.”
Meanwhile, the Lib Dems election campaign spokesman claimed British voters “have never had a referendum on Brexit”.
Sir Ed Davey insisted nobody has an understanding of what the historic European Union referendum, held last June, actually means.
Positioning themselves as the party of Remainers, the Lib Dems in their manifesto have offered Britons a chance to reverse Brexit and challenge the “extreme Brexit” which the Party claim will “wreck the future for you”.
