Julian Brazil, the leader of Devon County Council, has said Ed Davey is not the right person to lead the Liberal Democrats and warned that the party is “sleepwalking to irrelevance” under his leadership.
Brazil’s comments amount to a direct criticism of Davey’s position as leader of the party. No further details of his reasons or any response from Davey are provided in the supplied material.
The remarks come from the leader of Devon County Council, although the information available does not state whether they reflect the view of the council, other Liberal Democrat representatives or the wider party. The latest position described is that Davey remains party leader while Brazil has publicly questioned his suitability for the role.
