ed davey, thank you very much indeed. ed davey, i you very much indeed.old budget? well, i'm going to have to start making choices about where i spend my money, looking at my food shopping, as well, and i am worrying about how to afford it all. so we are going to go around your house, suggest some things that will reduce your energy consumption, the amount of money you pay, but also reduce your impact on the environment. but i've got to warn you, jade, i'm going to be tough on you. 0k! what? and the man with the clipboard is harry kind of the consumer organisation which? he's going to be working out how much energy and carbon dioxide our tricks can save. right, jade, let's start with heating, because that is the biggest user of energy in your home. and the first thing we're going to do is turn this down to 20 or 18...? 20. keep it on 20. and next, i'm going to look at your boiler. now this is... oh, that's quite good, but i'm going to turn this down just a notch and see how that works for you. there we go. all right, so the radiators in the bedroom are go

ed davey, leader ofthe alternative policy. ed davey, leader of the liberal _ alternative policy.r it's not too bad out there, quite i'll start. good morning to you all. i thoroughly wet day yesterday for some of you but today not quite as wet but do not leave home without an umbrella because there will be showers around and to begin with, if you are commuting across eastern england, some dense patches of fog which will play in a short while. this is a radar picture. the heaviest rain, lively downpours pushing for lincolnshire towards south yorkshire right now. showers elsewhere to the south and west. this area of cloud, patchy rain, takes us to central and northern scotland rush hour. this is the heavy rain we saw yesterday but it's lighter and patchy and makes for a great start across much of scotland. brightening up in southern scotland, brightness in northern ireland but some showers developing here. showers particular across central and western parts of england and wales. one or two further east. many will get through the commute, largely dry, but this i was becoming livelier

something i raised with ed davey, a lot of the - with ed davey, a lot of the reversals we have seen socuts ifs might think i�*m necessary. beyond that, the more profound question is that you have different kinds of conservative mps. the conservative mp you might find one of those read all seats has public got a different economic wish list to your traditional shire conservative. reconciling those different groups with different interests will be difficult. the treasury has _ interests will be difficult. the treasury has been _ interests will be difficult. the treasury has been arguing that its tax cuts and reforms will deliver sustainable funding for public services through the growth they say this will generate. but, given the cost of living crisis, is it sustainable for this government right now to even begin to think about taking that course of action, given the crises that sony people are in? i given the crises that sony people are in? , , given the crises that sony people arein? , , , given the crises that sony people arein? , , are in? i suppose it depends on whether the _ are in

we have heard ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats, we have heard keir starmer say the same anda sturgeon as well. i think tory mps are very likely to lose their seats, or their majorities significantly cuts, they may say let's go for an election now. the tories have been in power for election now. the tories have been in powerforfar too election now. the tories have been in power for far too long, election now. the tories have been in powerforfar too long, they election now. the tories have been in power for far too long, they need to rethink, regroup and work out where they are going and the labour party or a coalition, whoever it is, have a chance to try and salvage something. we are talking about one man losing hisjob, kwasi kwarteng on the same day that the post office is talking about sacking 10,000 postal workers. is talking about sacking 10,000 postalworkers. it is talking about sacking 10,000 postal workers. it is just astonishing and it is the prism of westminster that puts things into a goldfish bowl, but the reality is, a lot of people are hurting. the front ofthe lo

the leader of the liberal democrats ed davey has accused the government of being �*out of touch'.total mess and it's the millions of families and pensioners and businesses out there who are taking the hit. the news today from the ifs that the government would have to cut public spending by £60 million is deeply alarming and if the government were to do that then they are completely out of touch with what is happening in our society. the nhs needs more money, not less. schools are struggling. people on low incomes, pensioners, disabled people, people on low incomes in work but needing universal credit, they are struggling. they need more support, not less. would it be sustainable for any political party to be making public spending cuts at a time of a cost of living crisis? it wouldn't be, but i worry that some of the people around liz truss and kwasi kwarteng are so out of touch with what is happening, as we saw in their mini budget, that they might take these incredibly damaging measures. i am still really worried that they are not getting this right and there is no confidence in
