No, they live in a delusional world.

[@jonathanj.7344]

Led by a man who proclaims "Of course a woman can have a penis" 🙃🤪🤡🤣

[@brittonjames3335]

Why is this man not in prison over the Post Office scandal, he was head of operations. When are politicians going to be held responsible for there actions and there actions towards other's???????? disgraceful

[@willisplaysgames]

Because he wasn't head of operations - he was Post Office Minister, not head of the Post Office. Simple as.

[@Dilbert-o5k]

No. Ask davey why he accepted money from a chinese spy.

[@wishbones170]

These conspiracies are becoming even more ridiculous.

[@sirjosephwhitworth9415]

They need to dig up Gladstone, their only chance.

[@nicolarse-stubborn]

They can promise the world knowing that they will never need to deliver

[@TrafficConeGD]

their purpose is to provide opposition, if they can raise good issues through their manifesto it doesnt matter if they deliver. that was never their purpose but it will improve both politics and the country through meaningful debate not like this fake debate under the tories and labour

[@nicolarse-stubborn]

@@TrafficConeGD opposition ,good money for doing nothing,

[@bobgodwin9927]

Nothing is free, someone pays.

[@Toodyslexicforyou]

Sewage in water destroying British rivers. Don’t wanna pay well your Anti-British…

[@janpetersen7440]

How many election promises made before an election are fulfilled after the election. 🤔

[@dabrab]

The square root of f-ck all, no doubt - just like all the other parties.

[@morizwan123]

All the Labour ones

[@willisplaysgames]

​@@morizwan123what about their pledge to introduce Proportional representation, the promise not to reintroduce uni tuition fees, both of which they went back on, amongst others.

[@iansmith2997]

Absolutely not. Still as irrelevant as ever.

[@Toodyslexicforyou]

It’s good marketing though

[@Paws4Thought669]

The best they ever achieved was in Spitting Image

[@chrisl3314]

None so blind as those that will not see, none so deaf as those that will not hear. The coalition was the last time the country was not completely broken, 14 years of Tory mismanagement and here we are. Even in the coalition, the Tories were the main party, but if they have one skill it is to point the finger at everyone else except themselves, never taking responsibility

[@mattnield5178]

Lib Dems? Didn't even realize they where standing

[@JustAskingForAFriendOfAFriend]

They sound a lot like the greens

[@GeoffV-k1h]

NHS and care are both major problems which need fixing. But I'm not sure focusing so closely on a narrow agenda will work.

[@user-jgn1944]

This man certainly Appears to have led a normal life..as against lots of other government members.. I hope he speaks The Truth. Good luck Lib Dems

[@MrDominicBrant]

Can voters trust Sky News?

[@morizwan123]

That's a stupid question......Sky aren't standing for election

[@thomash6497]

Disappointing how Sophie Ridge was so patronising, scoffing and dismissive of the LidDems throughout her show. I’m no fan of Davey et al, but I am a fan of proper journalism.

[@markdoherty3956]

Libdems, don’t make me laugh

[@alanfrost4661]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brucklay227]

I had absolutely no idea that the liberals were still a political party. Are they going to put up any candidates in the election?

[@williamthompson4389]

Vote REFORM UK.

[@morizwan123]

to help Labour 😊

[@MixedRaceAndProud1690]

How could anyone vote for a party that wants to go against a democratic referendum vote ?!?!

[@086guti]

manifesto in two words: democratize poverty

[@T5Zplayer]

Nobody can fix the NHS. Best course of action would be for the public to lead a healthy lifestyle. No chance. And as for sewage, why do women keep flushing tampons down the loo. My local river is full of them.

[@bertiescunsbutch9323]

This is hilarious😂😂

[@sufthegoat]

Yes

[@damdog11]

So disingenuous it’s cringeworthy

[@mrchelsea7171]

Mr Bates - who? Oh the Post office, let’s not talk about him

[@SionisMills]

They all made promises and broken ones 💔 😢

[@HamptonFarly]

Just got what they are talking about now …I support Bobism 👍

[@garyk1334]

Libdems ? 😂 They still a thing ? Vote reform FTW !

[@colindelamare3180]

Their manifesto means nothing whatsoever they could promise everyone in the country a 24 carat gold bar because the chance of enforcing it is absolute zero

[@AlisonBaskeyfield]

Well people fell for the £350 million on a big red bus and all the same benefits none of the cost etc etc 😂

[@tonyorwin-nt6um]

It doesnt matter there no where near national government so chat amongst yourselves for a wee bit.👍❤

[@spicycheesegaming8390]

Them rides at the start of the video looked liked great fun 😊😊😊😊😊

[@happyclappyslappy]

ah

[@Colin623]

Those.

[@alanfrost4661]

Rent a crowd must be making a mint!

[@hugoboss8889]

IF THE LIBS BRING PEACE TO GREAT BRITAIN AND NO MORE WARS THEY WILL GET THE VOTES OF THE PEPOLES. 🤞

[@MixedRaceAndProud1690]

Speak for yourself .. they want to reverse/overturn the fair democratic vote of the British people

[@submariner99]

Who are the pepoles?

[@MixedRaceAndProud1690]

@hugoboss - speak for yourself .. anyone voting lib dems have no respect for democracy .. one of their policies, which is against the British people’s vote, is to overturn the fair democratic referendum on B r e x i t

[@MixedRaceAndProud1690]

@hugoboss - oh & there’s ONLY one way to bring peace to Britain

[@alanfrost4661]

Lib dems😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@yusrasoomro2812]

Mr Davy might not win the election but he certainly is enjoying every bit of his campaign 😁
