The current favourite to be the next Liberal Democrat leader says his party should work with Keir Starmer to defeat Boris Johnson at the next election.
Davey sought to draw a line under his party's time in coalition with David Cameron's Conservatives, which he admitted had created "animosity" with Labour and other parties on the left."I'm an anti-Conservative politician and I've fought them all of my life. I wouldn't ask Liberal Democrats to agree to any arrangement with the Conservative party."
"I don't think a Starmer leadership at the next election is going to be firing its guns on us in the way Corbyn was," Davey said. "We are beginning to see the outlines of a number of areas where we can clearly work together... I would hope that if he continues to bring the Labour Party to a social-democratic, centre-left position, then there will be room to work.Davey is the frontrunner in the race to succeed Jo Swinson as leader, with rival Layla Moran trailing in nominations from members, local parties, and the party's MPs and MEPs. The winner will be announced at the end of August.
He said that as leader, he would make the Liberal Democrats "fighting fit to win again" after a disappointing performance at the December election, with "a clear message" focused primarily on three areas: green economic policies, education, and reforming social care. "I've got a laser-beam-like focus on doing that.
Davey has called for a public inquiry into the government's approach to care homes after PPE shortages and revelations that hospital patients were admitted to homes without first being tested for coronavirus.
Yes indeed ! Keir_Starmer
