Lib Dems offer alternative to extremes of Reform and Greens, Davey says
Lib Dem leader hails gains in England and Scotland as his party profits from slump in support for Labour and the Tories.

Interesting that Davey is positioning the Lib Dems as the centrist common-sense option, but they’ll need more than just being ‘not Tory or Labour’ to win seats in the North.
The Lib Dems gaining from Labour’s slump in Scotland is surprising—thought the SNP had that locked down. Maybe voters are tired of nationalism.
Davey’s right that people are fed up with the two-party system, but let’s see if they can actually deliver on local issues like potholes and sewage before claiming to be the alternative.
If the Lib Dems think they can just scoop up disaffected Tory and Labour voters without a clear economic plan, they’re in for a shock. The Greens at least have a brand.
Good to see a party pushing back against the far-right and the eco-loons, but Davey needs to explain how they’d fund public services without breaking the bank.
