Would probably vote lib dems if it wasn't a wasted vote in my area we really need to change our voting system...

[@jamie_2452]

Like Farage said for his reform voters, the election has already been decided, labour has won. This election allows voters to vote where their heart truly lies. Same applies to all parties

[@stephenoxf]

A decent interview with a politician in 2024? Crazy.

[@muhammaduddin9268]

Vote Liberal Democrat’s.

[@Michformer]

Frankly I’ll be glad if the Lib Dems manage to take the #2 spot in the House of Commons.

[@bob1234881]

Yes. We have a choice on who the second party is. Time the tories are out.

[@TG-ts3xn]

Would much rather Reform UK tbh

[@silondon9010]

Ask sub post masters about him 😢

[@kiriakoz]

@@silondon9010ask the sub post masters also about the many Tory ministers who did his job after Ed did when more information came out. Ask the postmasters about the OBE that the Tories gave Paula Vennells and the extra government contracts they gave Fujitsu after it the matter was known in the public domain.

[@TG-ts3xn]

No way. His party labelled us racist for saying the same thing 2 years ago

[@alsayedfakhri4597]

This interviewer was abit cringe - the gotcha moments didn't quite hit.

[@buzzmast3r546]

If she thinks 'somewhat affordable housing' is bad, wait till she hears about the last 15 years

[@glenedwards1567]

Seems like a decent bloke. Notice how he's focusing on the Conservatives and what they have or haven’t done, rather than Labour. Hes looking to take votes off them (Tories) since he knows Labour are going to win.

[@alumpy-acho112]

I think the Lib Dems and Labour have a non-aggression pact

[@At0micFruit]

That but also LDs are typically much stronger and often the main contender in traditional rural Tory seats, as they have been for decades. It's sensible from a tactical perspective in terms of winning the most seats as well.

[@clickbaitpolice9792]

I mean that's what every party is doing. They are all focusing on Conservative's flaws to boost themselves.

[@TG-ts3xn]

No, Reform UK are much more genuine and honest.

[@bertiewooles3093]

I think there are only 2 real Lib Dem/Labour battlegrounds in the country right now

[@TomNook.]

Ed Davey is just using the election campaigning as an excuse to tick off his bucket list 😂

[@fatwalletboy2]

832 more came to the uk today and rich tea sunak said the figures are coming down.

[@thefifthdoctor6780]

And meanwhile I keep getting told there’s no money to help fund any studying or development. Thanks England

In the developed world, the UK has one of the lowest percentages of immigrants proportional to the population

[@Buy_YT_Views_516]

This is quality content!

He's a weird mix of Harry Enfield and Morrisey.

The media and politicians hand in hand. Fantastic!! Great show!!

[@carolewenman4558]

Why doesn’t this Sophie listen to what he’s saying. Not every question is a yes/no answer.

[@muhammaduddin9268]

I am voting for Liberal Democrat’s if they Rejoin the EU.

Im sure Kristi Noem would agree.

Ed Davey profited from getting innocent people prosecuted in the post office scandal, the guy was paid over £220,000 for advising a law firm. Here he is telling what a wonderful guy he is. ?

[@JimmyTimmy-wh8dz]

Sir ed davey ?? Sir keir starmer??

[@1milliondogs]

What is it with politicians doing all this cringey PR trash pretening to be a 'normal' person? The worst part is that people buy it.

[@MatthewMcMaster14]

Ed Davey isn’t normal. He’s extraordinary. He risked his life to save a woman who fell onto live tracks back in the 90s

[@dot222able]

Voted for Libdems in 2010 because of their stance on tuition fees😂 never again ...

[@JimmyTimmy-wh8dz]

This is the worst one ive seen.

[@nickysarkar7715]

Immigration needs to increase the Uk is incapable of doing its own jobs why is there 100k jobs in the NHS

[@TG-ts3xn]

That makes no sense.

[@DeanW-tp1hn]

Ur part of the problem

[@the_BASE_00]

It's weird how immigration is at record levels and is putting pressure on our housing and NHS, yet we have loads of vacancies in jobs where we do need migrants. Immigration shouldn't be seen as thr biggest threat to the UK, but it does need to come down. We still need migrants for our jobs, but we need to invest in our own workforce too

[@adamfrank4192]

So he has decided to play the hate card too. He just lost my vote. It's the Greens for me

[@jeycalc6877]

lmfao

[@Rob-uv8bu]

Reform UK
