I met him briefly last week, he is a thoroughly nice man, a really decent chap, he was very gracious and generous with his time. We need more people like Ed Davey in Politics.

Ed is just your normal bloke, your average Notts fella that's grown up the same way 99% of us have! People need to realise there's more options than just Tory or labour! Wake up people, pets use our vote to make a difference, let's disrupt the norm and show we want more than what the big 2 are offering!

This is absolutely fantastically honest and open. The best thing the Lib Dem’s have ever done. I’m a father of a disabled daughter (she is autistic). I remember the huge amount of time we played silly games etc etc etc to help her. This speaks volumes about the dedication and unseen commitment people make across the country for the people they care for and the lack of understanding there is about this

Comes across as a decent and sincere person, I wish them all well.

Im not a LD supporter but found this very moving. A timely reminder that politicians are human beings and should not be demonised when their views differ from yours. Ed’s so right when he says that caring for a loved one can be a deeply enriching experience even though it’s tough. ❤

A very decent good man who has a lot to give our country. Hope he and Liberal Democrats do well this general election 😊

Brilliant. I wholly support this message. Voted Lib Dem several times historically. Under a different system, you'd have my backing. You're always in consideration.

I’m not an LD supporter by any stretch and never have been but this is incredible. So moving and so tastefully done. So sorry to hear about Sir Ed’s parents I can’t even imagine what that would have been like.

Really moving, it is likely that all of us at some point will be a carer, or cared for by somebody. It's so crucial that we had Ed standing up for us, and highlighting both the beauty of caring for somebody, but also the challenges it faces.

Full of love and tenderness. Absolutely incredible. I am in bits.

Hope he ends up as leader of the opposition at the very least

Thank you so much for bringing humanity, love, courage and truth back to politics. You are the kind of politician I want to vote for.

Such a loving and tender father ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing I know first hand how difficult but also very rewarding it is to care for a child with disabilities ❤ God bless you ❤️🙏🏻❤️

A moving and honest political broadcast. As a party which can struggle to get airtime, their campaign and tactics have been well thought through. A mix of whacky, thoughtfulness and honesty. I really hope the Lib Dems do well and regain their standing as a powerful party in the UK.

*I am a green party member, but I will be voting lib dem* 🇪🇺🇬🇧

I'm a Labour voter but Ed always comes across as very thoughtful and considerate person.

Mad respect for Ed Davey, it just shows what a caring person he is and as I and others know what hard work that is with little help from the government, it's good to see a politician sharing their personal story, thanks and wish you and the Liberal Democrats all the best in the election and become the official operation

Ugh, that was beautiful

Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

May not agree with him politically but he seems like a nice and genuine person. I'd gladly meet this guy

I’m Cuban-American and have no attachment to the UK, but this video is astoundingly powerful.

Ed Davey does come across as a really genuine, caring man. I also know what it’s like to help care for a family member with severe disabilities and it gives me confidence that Ed is giving absolutely everything to make vulnerable people’s lives easier.

What a story, what a family man.

Well done Ed. You are a genuine politician and deserve for your party to succeed in routing the self serving Tories across the country

There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the Fourth of July to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, and vote them out of Parliament, and together we shall give them a Fourth of July that shall never, ever, be forgot.

🧡 I'd love to see more videos like this focused on the whole Lib Dem team! They have a great leader in Ed, and there's so many other caring and worthy LD individuals who I'd love to know more about.

Voted Liberal Democrats today. Thank You Ed & Team.

A good man. I am the father of a young lady who has Down Syndrome. My wife and I are worried about what will happen if we go before her. She is our world.She had open heart surgery when she was 3 and now has a pacemaker. She is bright and beautiful but very vulnerable. It’s hard looking after a vulnerable person and my wife and I don’t have a very good support network, it’s mum dad and our daughter. I work full time and my wife works part time and we work our responsibilities around our shifts. Our daughter is now 22 and she goes to provision for two days and a SEN college for two days and has a day at home. It’s is challenging but it we love and cherish her but we do worry for the future.

Ed your mother was such a beauty! Lovely to see you tell us about your family.

I would love to meet him. Definitely 💯 agree with him and his party has my vote

I didn't vote for you but I have to congratulate you on a brilliant entertaining campaign that always had a point. You are a genuine real person who has lived a real life and been moulded by it. Your dear mum would be extremely proud of you.

A Lovely Real man. LD's the only party to mention care and really focus on the NHS out of all. Great stuff.

Ed Davey’s mum was Beautiful He has his mum’s smile RIP

As a carer and full time worker he gets my vote 🗳

Hopefully get to meet you in the rescheduled ALDC. Would love to pick your brains. Well done on the campaign - definitely a breath of fresh air.

🧡Have always loved the libbdems as a carer, will vote for them

I always say that I'm not interested in personalities, it's policy that is important to me. But as a disabled person whose family collapsed, I can't deny how valuable this experience feels to me in a politician.

Ed Davey is one of the Beautiful People I have so much respect and admiration for him

What a lovely man. We could do with a few more like him in public life.

Aww I really like Ed Davey, in my heart of hearts I am a Liberal Democrat it’s where my beliefs are best represented but in this election unfortunately I have to vote labour because of where i live and I’m frightened of letting the conservatives back in

Looking out for his child with disabilities... He gets my respect and vote.

Although I’ll be voting Labour, I genuinely wish Ed and the Lib Dems the best of luck. A properly decent party with some great policies, led by a decent man.

Thanks for sharing your story, Ed. I think it is really moving and so glad the comms team have changed tack from falling off paddleboards etc! I thought that made Ed look like a bit of a joke which he definitely isn't!

I'm voting for you Ed, I belive your support for the trans community is most important to me. Sorry to hear story about your mum. Take care 🙂

I think Ed would make 10x a better leader of opposition than anything the Tories have to offer.

I live and work in his constituency. Via work I've met him, he's a good man. I hear a lot of locals call him that. I never EVER thought I'd say I'd vote Lib Dem (usually one of those awful far left lot). But he's good for my area and community so...yep. He has my vote.

So moving. Thank you for fighting for carers.

Decent man. Very moving. Thank you for sharing.

A very honest politician. Something this country needs. I like that the Lib Dems are focussing on 60 odd seats, it makes sense, targeting. Forecast to win 45+ which is a great. Won't be too far behind the collapsing Tories.

Really beautiful, Ed. Such an important issue affecting so many people, which hasn't been addressed at all by any of the other candidates.

I have just watched this on the back of the Rob Burrows documentary... I am now emotionally drained ❤

Great video. Happy to have you for Eastbourne even though I voted green

Had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

I will be proud to vote for the party led by this man on 4 July. Plus they are the most likely to beat the Tories here in this (previously) Tory safe seat - so win/win.

Great work recognising carers everywhere. This isn’t a film about Ed Davey it’s about every silent carer who work tirelessly everyday.

❤. So refreshing to see something so honest and about something that really matters.

Very moving. Won't be voting lib dem as our constituency is a clear labour Tory battle but ed seems like a thoroughly decent chap.

I think Ed might be the only actual human being on the leadership ballot. Nobody else seems comfortable showing their whole self.

Thank you, just thank you

I think in our area, despite the surrounding town used to be Tory, but our village Lib Dem, thanks God. I believe you have a winning ticket there and I really hope you gain more seats than in the previous election! Wish the best of you and your loved ones!

Seems like a very kind man

Really shows how Ed does it because he cares not for himself or his career but for the British people.

A truly caring man

I found this very moving. His words are straight from The heart

Really touching and heartfelt ❤

🧡

Love from Canada.

He's got my vote. We need far more people like Ed Davey in Politics and far fewer like Sunak, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Farage and Starmer.

Seems like the only politician who is actually human

It is great that they are using this election campaign to shine a light on such important issues. As a carer myself, it is nice to feel represented and included. To feel appreciated for the role we play in society - as opposed to the carer's allowance scandal that is currently being investigated. Martin Lewis directly asked Jeremy Hunt about it and he dodged the question and started talking about child benefit. I don't know where the Tory party got the idea that they could just answer any difficult question with something unrelated, I'm so exhausted by it, I hope the results of this election campaign show them, and all politicians that we are not idiots and we can see right through that tactic - especially when it has been used ad nauseum.

Great pr and seems like a really nice sincere bloke brilliant video nice to get a back story to politicians life

Sir Ed is the most caring, kind, Compassionate and honest politician I have ever known since I first got interested in politics in the 1960s Given a chance he would make the best Prime Minister ever ❤🔶

Thanks for this video Ed. I’m torn between Labour and Lib Dem’s at present and would like to hear what sets you apart from Labour.

Nice fella. Anyone who hasn't listened to his interview on Leading should do so.

I’ve worked with Ed in government. He’s not only a really good man but an honest, sincere and a hard working one. I won’t be voting for him for policy reasons but if you’re on the fence between him and similar manifestos then you wouldn’t be wrong in trusting him, because unlike almost all of the rest, his intentions truly are good. All the best Ed may all the haribo fried eggs be yours 😉

Skin in the game is so important in driving good policy. Ed just went up in my ratings, might go Lib Dem if the manifesto looks good

Ed is a caring person and a nice bloke

A special man Ed.

Very moving. I think a mark of any society is how it looks after its people. The cynic in me thinks we’ve become more uncaring and more narcissistic, but I know there are lots of people out there who just quietly get on with helping others.

My first time voting and it'll be LibDem

Clearly a very kind, principled man. Good luck to him.

“Nobody will be able to care for our son like we do”. No other party has been so clear on the need to create a fit for purpose national approach to care and support of carers. You will either need care in your life, or be a carer, or both.

i am up in glasgow. so it’s a choice between labour and the snp. best of luck to the lib dems in the south. i hope the blue wall is destroyed. ed. you are an inspirational man.

A lovely man,a great leader in our party

Didn’t vote Lib Dem but goodness it’s lovely to hear a politician talk about love.

ed davey farted on my nan. when she said "excuse me?" he looked her in the eye and said "you're excused".

how amazing it is to have a political leader who has actually knows what carers are actually up against, with this personal experience he has the knowledge to know what government can practically do to help, no ideology but proper solid practical help

As a support worker. I enjoy seeinghim with his son. Its the sort if games i donwith my service users

An absolute legend

moving portrayal from Ed of his motivation to improve care, deeply rooted in his personal experience. I’m proud to have him as leader of the Lib Dems

Fabulous video - my dream would be that in every constituency where the Lib Dems were second last time to Tories the other progressive parties lend them their votes so that selfish toryism is defeated.

Congratulations 🎊

Maybe it explains his more “fun” campaign events, being relatable and interesting onscreen

Brilliant ❤

Good on you, Ed.

Everyone is saying, "we want change". Well here are your options, people 1. Sunak - Investment Banker 2. Starmer - Barrister 3. Farage - City of London stockbroker, 4. Davey - economic researcher and Carer 5. Denyer - Green Energy professional 2 of these are not like the others. Put your money where you mouth is. If you want actual change, vote for something different

Johnson, Trust, Braverman, Mogg..... compare and contrast. Very moving. We need more real people in politics and a lot fewer public schoolboys without a shadow of a clue.

in an election that feels frankly at this point what shade of tory would you like its nice to see a party trying to reform their image and offer a realistic opposition to what is going to be (in all likelyhood) a starmer supramajority, im still on the fence about who i will vote for in this one, its certainly not gonna be blue (not even once kids) nor shall it be starmers go with the tide mess, LD may have me one over lads, time will tell

A good man.

Just think of all those carers who lost loved ones too soon due to austerity
