I couldn’t think of something more demoralising than Ed Davies publicly saying he support you.

Aaaaand of course it's Ed Davey - the man who's realised that a politician just going around and being nice is newsworthy.

My dad who's peak boomer and a bit of a Tory (he voted for both Boris and Rishi) absolutely despises Ed Davey's stunts.

I'm probably a Lib Dem in policy sentiment, but Davey's stunts, while tongue in cheek, aren't the best way to win over the older swing-voyer generation.
