Ed Davey's Conference Speech - Taking on Trump & Farage

Sir Ed Davey delivered a fantastic and invigorating speech on Sunday the 23rd of March, at the end of our Conference in Harrogate. Sir Ed said: 

"There is no doubt that three dark spectres hang over our politics at the moment – and these were the focus of my speech:

Donald Trump – bullying, narcissistic and unpredictable. Vladimir Putin – a murderous tyrant waging war on Ukraine. And Nigel Farage, who worships them both.

Farage and Reform’s destructive, divisive politics poses an enormous threat to the future of our country. We know where it all will lead, if we don’t stop it.

That’s why our liberal, internationalist values are so important right now. They are the antidote to Trump and Farage’s destructive nationalism."
