Is the party over after being smashed in last year's general election.

Welcome to Payne's politics, your essential insider guide to what's happening in British politics

from the Financial Times, with me Sebastian Payne.

In our latest interview special I'm speaking to Ed Davy about whether his party can find a purpose

again.

He's running for the leadership so I imagine he does. Mr.

Davy was first elected to Parliament in 1997 for the London seat of Kingston and

Surbiton and hasn't left its front bench team since. During the coalition government with the Conservatives,

he took Minister of Office at the Department for Energy and Climate Change

joining the Cabinet in 2012 as the Secretary of State. He lost the seat at the 2015 election but

bounced back two years later. Since the former leader Joe Swinson lost her seat

at the 2019 election he's been the Lib Dems acting leader.

So Ed thank you very much for joining us on Payne's politics.

Good to be with you, Seab?

So how has the leadership contest been for you?
