EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Pope Francis passing away, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Pope Francis’ passing is a profound loss to millions across the world. He was a leader of compassion and courage, speaking up for those in need and calling for peace in a world too often divided.

“His influence reached far beyond the Church. He offered hope by reminding us of strength in kindness and faith.

“We should remember his example: stand up for what’s right, care for others, and hold onto compassion and hope.”
