James O'Brien meets Sir Ed Davey | LBC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Ed Davey has been a carer for most of his life. First for his mum, who died of cancer when he was just 15. Then for his Nana and now, he and his wife Emily care for their disabled son John. Ed could be furious at the world - but he’s not. Instead, he has spent his political career standing up for carers and fighting for investment in the NHS and social care. Ed tells James how his personal experiences have shaped his politics and why he’s committed to making real change happen.

Bravo Mr O'Brien, for giving a voice to Sr. Davey on your program 👍 He clearly understands and values the needs of the general public!
I would seriously consider voting for him, his party. He has a genuine caring nature. He is not void of empathy. Like Sunak, or Starmmer. It’s interesting because I have never heard this chap talk before. Thanks James for giving this chap a platform. It’s a great to be able to hear the less popular parties thoughts. Nice one ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@420Chilled the choice is limited. No to Tories, no to Labour. Reform doesn’t impress me. So it’s a proper dilemma. Hopefully the liberals won’t make that mistake again, especially based on the Tories track record over the last few years. Imagine letting them have a say in things after what they have been doing. It won’t please the British people. I think the Lib Dem’s have learned a harsh lesson. 👍❤️👍
he's up-to-his-eyeballs in it
Ive meet him he is like this is real life.
@@carlpierce2486 wow. He comes across as a very decent chap. It’s a shame he isn’t given equal opportunity to speak more often. I think people would be drawn to him. 👍❤️👍
I've met him too. A nice person.
What a lovely and dignified man, with a beautiful soul, a rare quality in politics. 😊
What an amazing human being
Fantastic interview Well done Mr J O' Brien on a fantastic interview with Sir Ed Davey... The UK needs more politcians like Sir Ed Davey...
What an interesting chap!
I hope he gets 50+ seats at the GE!
:)
We must get PR. All votes should count.
I used to agree but you only need to look What's happening With the far right We may be one of the only countries in Europe at the minute Without proportional representation but we are also one of the few countries without any hard right Representation in Parliament.
No matter what you think of his politics, he seems a genuine guy who has lived a life and therefore understands the challenges of life today, more than most narcissistic elite politicians. We need more politicians like him and less like the current batch or Tory elites.
We should probably have more insight to some of our politicians thanks James O’Brien for facilitating this
Glad you overcame your difficulties and became the person you are .. Godspeed.
Absolutely, we need to defend and grow independent media
Independant media is the greatest source of propaganda because they are not regulated or held accountable when lying. You might think the more sources the easier it’ll be to filter out the objective truth from the bias but you’d be wrong. You do not have a better grasp of reality just because you can choose to listen to uncontroversial opinions, quite the opposite. It’ll make it harder for you to know what’s credible and what isn’t. It’s like ethics, there’s duty ethics and consequence ethics. 99% of the time you rely on duty ethics in order to make your decisions which is ethics you’ve learned from your parents and your countries laws and culture. The reason for this is because it would be too much work if you had to make a real rational consideration between all pros and cons of an action before making mundane decisions. Same with filtering information. You are more likely to just subscribe to whichever reality that seems to suit you best than actually analyze every piece of information available which is why information needs to be regulated by professionals one way or another.
If only they'd add one word: "rejoin"
The post office scandal has destroyed his reputation
I’m somewhat stunned there wasn’t a question about rejoining the EU…
I know it's simplistic, but to me, the logical best government for the country as a whole (as opposed to the country as a hole, which is what the current government has driven us into) has to be the most centrist party. I'm not sure if enough people have woken up and smelled the coffee for the Lib Dems to go full on rejoin. Even though they have been proven right, there are still many people who feel it was just the wrong type of Brexit (which was always going to be the case, with no majority in favour of any particular version). I just hope that they get enough seats to keep Labour honest, and between them they crush the Tories to the extent that they ditch the slide towards far-right populism which the GOP has succumbed to in the US.
My daughter in Oxford and her rich friends are busy parties most of the time while their parents appoint teachers from the same and similar universities to prepare for their assignments and sit for remote exams.
Their job is ready for them to grab high levels in reputable banks, white hall government service, etc.
One of her friends got in with two Cs and failed in the rest of the subjects through her father, who knows the people inside.
All she does is sec and drug.
This is how corrupt Britain is now!
These people will bring the country down faster than you can imagine.
Awful
I think it’s such a shame that people like this with what I see as sensible and progressive ideas aren’t really taken notice of by many people. Look how few views this video has (less than 10k at the time of writing this comment). Why is this the way it is?
one word........................empathy it makes me want to vote for him. i wouldnt cross the street for starmer and need the tories gone. its a tricky choice
Fek it I'm voting liberal
Ed seems like a nice enough fella. Plus, he could soon be leader of the opposition, with luck. Unless Labour govern in a way totally distinct from the tories, he could be PM in 5 years lol. That said, we could end up back in a Johnson/Trump World, anything is possible nowadays.
He says he wants to listen. But he didn’t want to listen to Mr Bates.
He met Mr Bates.
Did not ask about PO weak
Fourteen years the Tories new about it, they did nothing.
So while minister he received a lot of correspondence from innocent sub post matters asked one question to the post office and thought his work was done.
What sort of School did he go to in his Secondary education? That was not made clear.
Nottingham High School, but why does that matter?
@@llblumire Of course it matters. 70's Secondary Schools compared to Private Schools of the same period were entirely different. He therefore would be different and his experiences would be different than those going through the same experiences in a State School education system. I do hope you comprehend?
I often get the feeling that James O'Brien is more comfortable when he's interviewing privately educated people. Probably because he can relate to them better than to the hoi polloi.
Think you are
Can you imagine these two giants in front of Putin.
Not fit to do his shoelaces up.
No. But I'm not willing to either. It would mean that they would have gone as bonkers as TC.
That’s the spirit Wrong Think very OBrien very 1984
Can you imagine Sunak in front of Putin?
couldn't he have decided not to be useless?
Nice bit of hatred there LBC. Proud of yourselves?
OBrien 1984 Evil OBrien 2024 Two minutes of hate.
Are you ok?
Why?
What??
Just imagine this sellout in M15 would be even worse than his record as an MP.
Definitely the wrong choice
I would like to have it noted here that this man is my local MP and has been nothing short of useless. I am sorry for his personal troubles over the course of his life but as a politician I think just about any other mammal would do a better job, no matter how much O’Brien strokes his ego.
Will o Brien ask him what a woman is
I believe they asked Izzard
@@englishstark6100 He's no expert ;)
If you have the answer why don't you yell about it to the corners of the world?
Ed has an excellent record in support of trans rights, so his answer would be the same as it has been historically.
I'm sure his answer wouldn't suit your Daily Mail views
