EMBARGO: 2230 Tuesday 30th December

In his New Year message for 2026, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP will say:

“2025 hasn’t always been easy, but I am so proud of everything our Liberal Democrat team has achieved this year.

“Our record breaking success in the local elections – beating Labour and the Conservatives.

“Our victories in Parliament – from banning puppy smuggling to backing a new Customs Union with the EU.

“Fighting to end the cost-of-living crisis. Protect our environment. Fix the NHS and social care.

“Standing up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Taking the fight to Nigel Farage – and winning.

“And we can win again in 2026 – in Scotland, Wales and across England.

“To stop Trump’s America becoming Farage’s Britain. And change our country for the better.

“So from all of us at the Liberal Democrats: I hope you have a happy and hopeful New Year.

“Let’s make it a good one.”
