Listen to the last episode:
The News Agents comes to you live from Ed Davey’s back garden. This is not a euphemism.
The Lib Dems are a big force in British politics once again, the most significant third party force in parliament for a century. Davey achieved this breakthrough by doing some very odd things including bungee jumping, paragliding and consistently falling into water.
After one of the most curious election campaigns in history, Lewis sits down with the Lib Dem leader, not long before the party’s annual conference.
They talk about what he was up to with all the stunts, what he wants to do with his party’s new clout in parliament and whether there’s even further to go: whether they could yet supplant the Conservatives as Britain’s second party.
