'Let's complete the task' – Ed Davey speaks at the Lib Dem gathering

Wednesday, 18 September 2024 06:27, UK

At the Liberal Democrat party conference, Ed Davey pledged to overcome the prevailing pessimism propagated by the government and expressed his determination to decisively defeat the remnants of the Conservative Party.

This week, the Lib Dems turned heads by having their leader arrive at the conference via jet ski, a move in line with their history of eye-catching antics. Now holding an unprecedented 72 seats and ranking as the third largest party in parliament, the question arises: can the Lib Dems maintain their current surge?

Niall Paterson takes a seat on the pebbled shores of Brighton alongside our political correspondent Rob Powell, for a detailed discussion on the quirks, the event, and Ed Davey's address.

Additionally, Niall connects with Lib Dem MPs Tim Farron, Layla Moran, and Calum Miller to gather their thoughts on Davey's address and the goals of their party.
