Lib Dems the last block against ‘forces of darkness’ led by Farage, says Ed Davey
Lib Dem leader’s conference speech takes aim at Reform by predicting it would bring Trump-style policies to UK
The Liberal Democrats are the only remaining block against “the forces of darkness” led by Nigel Farage, Ed Davey has told his party’s annual conference in a speech that repeatedly and at times personally took aim at the Reform UK leader.
With Lib Dem strategists increasingly believing that Reform has become the party’s main opponent, Davey sought to yoke Farage directly to Donald Trump, arguing that if he won power, Reform would implement many of the same policies – including a relaxation of gun laws.
