Nigel Farage not a patriot, Ed Davey says as Lib Dem conference begins
The Liberal Democrat leader launched the broadside against the head of Reform UK as he opened the first day of his party’s conference by setting out his own stall on migration and “British values”...
Asked by the PA news agency what he considered to be British values, the Lib Dem chief described “the vast majority of people who’ve got decent values, respect for the rule of law, tolerance, who love our country like the Liberal Democrats do”.
“They want to see a party that is true to British values but will change our country,” Sir Ed said.

Presumably, assuming it means anything at all, this claim means that British values will be changed by Ed Davey and the Lib Dems.
In his way, "Sir" Ed Davey is even weirder than "Sir" Keir Starmer, being at least as inclined to direct his message at simpletons. Lib Dems can't think of themselves as simpletons and most probably aren't apart from the Lib Dem problem they have, so why does Ed favour simpleton rhetoric?

My local lib dems, 70 to 80 year old smelly grey-haired who hand out leaflets with warnings against Reform. You can't even hit those sad bastards.
Me Tarzan. Aaaghiaaah.
Does this mean that Lib Dem "British values" include refusing, several times, to speak to a man who could prove Davey's Post Office was deliberately, and illegally, persecuting and prosecuting innocent people? Does Davey's "British values" include, allegedly, receiving payments for consultancy from the same law firm that prosecuted innocent people on behalf of the Post Office? Does Davey's "British values" include, when it was too late, to applaud Sir Alan Bates actions in stopping probably the largest miscarriage of justice in this country? Davey, in my opinion, is a dangerous buffoon and I feel that, after falling into the water during a photo shoot, he should have stayed there.

Anon - maybe the Lib Dems send them out deliberately to generate a physical reaction. Nothing is off their table.
Doonhamer - swinging through the park in a hyena skin - Aaaghiaaah!
Penseivat - yes he is a dangerous buffoon, he'll say anything, deny anything and ignore anything if he gets the buffoon vote, which is what he seems to attract. Worse than Starmer but fortunately not in power.
In the comment by @anonymous that "allegedly" is worth gold!
Glyn - it certainly is!
