Sir Ed Davey
Vision for the Future
Amid a worsening geopolitical situation and the upheaval created by the Conservative mini-budget, Ed sets out his vision for the future of our country, and the important role the Lib Dems can play in delivering it.
Ed has been Leader of the Liberal Democrats since 2020. In the last year, he has led the party to three historic by-election victories – winning seats across the Conservatives’ former heartlands. He recently published The Battle for Liberal Britain, a collection of essays that sets out the Liberal Democrats can deliver a fair deal for people across the country. An economist by training, Ed is now using his expertise to push the government to take more action on the cost of living emergency – including calling for an emergency 20% cut to VAT. Ed was first elected to the seat he still holds, MP for Kingston & Surbiton, in 1997 and was the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change during the coalition government. He lives in Surbiton with his wife Emily and their two children.
