Ed Davey rallies Lib Dems to ‘bring the blue wall tumbling down’ at conference

Sir Ed Davey will challenge Liberal Democrat members to “bring the blue wall tumbling down” at the general election in his speech at the party’s spring conference.

The Lib Dems are using the gathering in York to prepare for a further push into traditional Conservative strongholds, particularly seeking to win over voters in the south and south-west of England.

Leader Sir Ed will rally members to “make this a once-in-a-generation election” as he argues his party is the are just “tinkering around the edges”.
