The Liberal Democrats are rallying behind Davey following resignations from the party’s frontbench, with his pledge of change at the centre of the party’s response.
The departures have created fallout within the party and prompted renewed attention on its leadership. Davey is seeking to use the moment to set out a commitment to change as the Liberal Democrats respond to the resignations.
The available details do not identify the frontbenchers who have resigned or explain the circumstances behind their departures. They also provide no further information about the changes Davey intends to make.
The immediate focus remains on how the Liberal Democrats move forward after the resignations and whether Davey’s pledge can maintain the support being shown by members of the party.
