  • At its conference, the Liberal Democrats portrayed themselves as a positive patriotic force opposing Reform UK’s ambitions for government.

  • The party won 72 seats at the general election, becoming British politics’ largest third party in over 100 years.

  • Its four-year strategy seeks maximum seats by attracting former coalition partners and Conservatives disillusioned with their party.

  • The gaps among Labour, the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Greens are as narrow as seven points; therefore, the party targets former second- and third-place constituencies.
  • That is Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.
    — Ed Davey, in his conference speech
