LIBERAL Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey vowed to finish off the Tories in his keynote speech to his party conference in Brighton today.
Pledging to repay voters’ trust, Sir Ed said that the party would build on its general election success, when it won 72 seats, almost all at the expense of the Conservatives.
The Tories remained “totally unfit to govern our country,” he said, dismissing the remaining Conservative leadership contenders as “out of touch with so many of their former voters.”
