Ed Davey: Tories ‘soured and poisoned’ relationship with EU
let’s talk about foreign policy briefly um most liberal Democrats want to rejoin the European Union why you dropped that as a policy well we’re again I give you a little preview to Manifesto uh we’re going to be really clear that in the long term Britain needs to be back at the heart of the EU in the single Market but what what we’re saying is at the moment because I think this is real politic and uh I’ve talked to most Li Democrats who agree with me on this that the relationship with our European friends and Partners uh has been broken by the conservatives the trust that they used to be uh which was really good there was a great strong relationship there where to Mutual benefit that’s been soured and poisoned and nothing has made me sadder than how the conservatives have ruined our relationship with our closest friends and allies and that needs to be rebuilt and the the truth is you can’t do they can’t wave a magic wand and go back to what it used to be straight overnight it will take a long time to rebuild that trust

…I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/–~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-.
A tad disingenuous. When he had the chance to vote to retain single market access he and his party (2 didn't) voted against and with the hard brexiteers. He played his part, spare me the crocodile tears. Liberally averse to consequence of his own actions
Ed davey is an undemocratic hypocrite he is bluffing his way.
The thumbnail tho 😂
And the reason that I can't ever trust the Liberal Democrats is because they helped to prop up Cameron's Tory government by going into coalition with them
Will never forget that the Lib Dems went into coalition with the Tories and went all-in on a cruel austerity programme. They'll never, ever get my vote.
Wotalodeofbollox😂
😂😂
Davey did nothing about the PO scandal on his watch – he just ignored the post masters and took the management line – it was his job to question the blindingly obvious. He is not fit to lead anything.
Why isn't Ed in prison?? Also why hasn't the news of Lib Dem HQ being raided by police and 2 people arrested not been mentioned?
Talking about trust in politics and in the media whilst keeping that news quiet 😂😂😂
I think Ed is right. From an Australian who lived in London 2017-2020.
Tories have always blamed the EU for all the problems caused by British politicians in the British Parliament in successive British Governments all done to get Tories elected and re-elected over decades.
Spot on. Blamed the EU for everything between 2016 and 2021 when Brexit actually came into effect properly (apart from the full customs checks which started a few months ago). Obviously it was the brexiters not understanding the consequences, not the EU.
The UK is just going to shed GDP until it rejoins. Will be a much poorer country for my kids in terms of health and education, thank you leave voters 🫡
Why does he always say Liberal Democrats so fast that it sounds like he does not want to say it?
Post office scandal?????
EU did that by themselves by wanting to kill off nation states.
For once, Ed Davy is right. The EU thinks once bitten, twice shy.
He’s right
Poor Ed..he thinks the EU are our friends and allies..ha😂😅😂
What a load of rubbish! No! The truth is, last time they went on about rejoining the EU in an election, they got absolutely battered, even to the point their own party leader lost her seat; never to be heard from again!
The Limp Dems have achieved nothing, and never will. Irrelevant like the Greens.
