The Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey said his party was “on a record winning streak”, adding: “In places like Surrey, we’re replacing the Conservatives.”<\/p>\n
Speaking in Guildford, Sir Ed said: “We’re the only party who’s actually held off Reform”, pointing to results in Stockport and Portsmouth.<\/p>\n
Asked how his party could increase support in areas where they have not traditionally been strong, he said “multi-party politics” brought a “real chance to show what we’re about”.<\/p>\n
He said he thought the Liberal Democrats had a “moral responsibility” given how “utterly failed Labour and the Conservatives are”.<\/p>\n
“I think people are looking for a party that is true to British values of decency, tolerance, respect of the rule of law, and real practical plans, and only the Liberal Democrats offer those”, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey said his party was “on a record winning streak”, adding: “In…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":574003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-574002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=574002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/574003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=574002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=574002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=574002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
