breath of fresh air. he is enjoying himself. opposition that is pro europe, pr and puts pressure on government on social care, works for me

[@fshoaps]

Ed is easily the most likable party leader. Such an easy, cool charm.

[@swarming1092]

Great interview as always Lewis. Some tough questions for Ed but I think he's a breath of fresh air. I say this as a Labour member and voter. I think if there was a Labour government with a Lib Dem-led opposition, our country would be in a much, much healthier place than it is today.

I'd quite like a LibDem/Green coalition 💚💛

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

I'd be more ok with a Lib Dem / Reform coalition.

[@rolandrothwell4840]

Yes a Liberal Democrats and Green Coalition would be excellent

[@pastyman001]

That is Glastonbury Tor. LibDems have the best manifesto and are within sight of coming second.

Great interview...... Can anybody else hear that internment cough like sound? It sounds like a microphone issue or somebody has a breathing issue, I'm not a help health expert but something doesn't sound right....

Lewis sometimes forgets the audience wants to hear the subject answer rather then his own take.

[@AH-te5gs]

He has no charisma but at least he engages and answers questions straightforwardly

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Wavy Davey gets the Gravy.
As easy as falling off a log.
They are neither Liberal nor Democratic.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

I smell a tory who's about to lose :p

​@sarcasticstartrek7719 Wow clever phone 📲 mine doesn't do that 😒

[@jamesprice4647]

So silly.

[@VesiustheBoneCruncher]

He’s advocating for PR. That’s a lot more democratic than what we’ve got.
