Liberal Democrats Achieve Record-Breaking Election Surge
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey celebrated a 'record-breaking' night as the party secured 70 seats in the recent election. This marks a significant improvement from the 2019 election, where they returned with just 11 MPs. Significant gains included Harrogate and Knaresborough, Witney, and Maidenhead. Key Tory ministers such as Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and Justice Secretary Alex Chalk were unseated. Despite narrowly missing out on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's seat, Sir Ed's campaign stunts and strategic focusing on Conservative-held areas in the south proved effective. Sir Ed increased his own majority in Kingston and Surbiton to 17,000, while deputy leader Daisy Cooper echoed the party's jubilant sentiment, marking their return as the third largest party in Parliament.
