Ed Davey
Join us in conversation with Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and lifelong campaigner for carers, on his powerful new memoir, Why I Care: And why care matters.
Care has shaped Ed’s life. After losing his father as a child, he nursed his mother through cancer, and now he and his wife care for his disabled son. Drawing on these experiences, Davey offers rare insight into the emotional, physical and financial challenges faced by millions of unpaid carers in Britain - and how society and government so often fail to recognise their vital work.
As our population ages and pressures on social care grow, Davey’s vision offers hope - and a challenge to rethink what really matters. Together in the newsroom, we’ll ask: What does it mean to build a politics rooted in compassion, and how can we transform our care system to truly value those who support others?
