MOONSHINE-PEDDLING Lib Dem minister Ed Davey came under fire yesterday for spouting repeated boasts about the government’s economic policies.

“There is nothing I and my colleagues are prouder of than this government’s record on jobs,” he purred in the Commons during a debate on the Queen’s Speech.

Mr Davey had to rely on his Tory bedfellows for support in the chamber — since not a single Lib Dem backbencher turned up to hear his speech.
