DEVELOPING: Ed Davey Warns Lib Dems Must Act Now to Stop Nigel Farage's Rise.

Breaking News: Ed Davey Warns Lib Dems Must Act Now to Stop Nigel Farage's Rise Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has issued a stark warning that his party must take immediate action to prevent Nigel Farage's Reform UK from gaining power. Speaking at the party's autumn conference, Sir Ed said voters are turning away from Labour and the Conservatives and towards Reform. The Liberal Democrats have a moral duty to keep Farage out of power, according to Sir Ed, who argues that his party can offer "radical change" in line with British values. In contrast, he claims Farage wants the UK to become like Trump's America. In last year's general election, the Lib Dems won 72 seats while Reform secured five. However, recent polls suggest Farage's party is gaining momentum. Sir Ed acknowledged that his party has "momentum" but admitted it's not yet reflected in the polls. The Liberal Democrat leader emphasized the need for his party to take the fight to Reform and stop its rise. This warning comes as the Lib Dems seek to reclaim patriotism from Farage, who has been criticized for his nationalist rhetoric.
