20 Questions With Daisy Cooper MP

The Liberal Democrats have 71 MPs, but we hear much more about Reform UK, a party with just eight MPs. So what does it mean to be a Lib Dem in 2026? I talked to Deputy Leader and Treasury Spokesperson Daisy Cooper to find out. Along the way I wanted to know whether the Lib Dems would countenance entering a coalition with Labour; what does Cooper make of Andy Burnham; how determined is she to keep Nigel Farage out of Number 10; what sort of job as leader does she think Ed Davey is doing; and why did she go into politics in the first place?
