Sir Ed Davey

Julie Burchill is very biting about him:

“Davey is foul; with a face like a Cornish pasty without any filling

“In a crowded field, the hypocrisy of Davey is in a class of its own. Over the past five years, he has called for the resignation of public figures a whopping 34 times – yet shows no sign of resigning or even giving back his honour,

“I’ve seen knights on a chessboard with more emotional depth and moral substance than Davey.”

I have always voted liberal and I am disillusioned and have been considering UK first party however I am not altogether convinced.So were do I go too from here

I watched the interview on TV where he refused to apologize, and found it extremely cringeworthy. I should imagine most people watching it thought so, too.

So, yes, fancythat, if he wasn't toast before that interview, he certainly should be afterwards.

Totally agree with the above. Ed Davey is toxic now.

The last few leaders of the lib dems have been utterly useless.

Oh dear! I didn’t know this.
Is it possible to hold a position of power in politics and remain ethical 🤔? I would like to think so but the more we learn, the more I doubt it. Self interest always seems to win.

His position is untenable now. He will damage his party if he remains.

Is there something about the past and current leaders of the Liberal Democrats that makes them hate post office workers.

Vince Cable - oversaw the breakup of the Royal Mail into privatised Royal Mail and public owned Post Office, Ed Davey - Postal Minester 2010 t0 2012 and Jo Swinson -Postal Minister from 2012 to 2015. Surely they cannot all have missed the signals. LD members have also been asked to deflect any questions while electioneering .

He’s a slippery, awful character hiding behind that silly smile.

I've recently moved from Green to Lib Dem thinking they are an ethical party and I am dismayed at this news. Who on earth do we vote for now?

I'll be back, must go out now but yes, I think he should resign.

As I have written elsewhere, I think he is toast.

I too voted Liberal and then Liberal Democrat for many years. and also feel that Ed Davey should resign.

Yes for the good of his party he needs to resign.

Yes he should resign and the sooner the better.
