Lib Dems offer alternative to extremes of Reform and Greens, Ed Davey says

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey stated that his party offers an alternative to the 'extremes' of Reform UK and the Greens, having gained 153 councillors in England and six seats in the Scottish Parliament. Despite these gains, the party lost control in Hull due to a surge from Reform UK. Davey emphasized that the Lib Dems achieved their best results in Scotland in nearly 20 years while continuing to benefit from a decline in support for Labour and the Conservatives.
