Lib Dem leader emphasises vulnerability of Conservative seats in ‘blue wall’ in conference speech
Boris Johnson has reshaped the Conservative party to his own “ugly” values, Ed Davey has argued, using his speech to the Liberal Democrat conference to make an open appeal to more traditional Tory voters who dislike the prime minister and his populist ways.
Addressing a crowd of about 200 activists for the sole in-person event of an otherwise virtual annual gathering of the party, the Lib Dem leader repeatedly emphasised what he said was the vulnerability of Conservative seats in the so-called blue wall.
