Ed Davey attacks Reform UK and Elon Musk at conference

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey criticised Nigel Farage's Reform UK and billionaire Elon Musk on the first day of his party's annual conference. He called Reform's funding from two crypto billionaires a "£72m arsenal of hate and lies" and linked Musk to funding racism. Davey also drew attention to Lib Dem proposals for £600 million towards enhancing maternity care.
