Christine Jardine suffered an intense grilling from talkRADIO's Wootton regarding whether the Lib Dem's acting leader had a realistic chance of becoming Prime Minister. Ms Jardine stated that the next general election was about rebuilding for her party following a poor result in the 2019 contest.

Mr Wootton said: "With all the will in the world you must accept that Ed Davey is never going to be Prime Minister where as Keir Starmer has at least a chance."

The Lib Dem MP replied: "This is not a game, it is about what you believe in and I believe in things that are significantly different to the Labour Party."

The talkRADIO host asked: "Do you believe in Ed Davey as Prime Minister?"

Ms Jardine said: "I believe in Ed as the leader of the Liberal Democrats."

Mr Wootton responded: "But you accept that he will never become Prime Minister?"

The Liberal Democrat said: "One should never say never but that is not our first aim as a position with 11 MPs.

"We are aiming to rebuild at the next general election."

Earlier this month theLiberal Democrats' acting leader suffered a backlash from BBC Breakfast viewers following his "irrelevant" interview on BBC Breakfast.

Some BBC Breakfast viewers took to Twitter to criticise the acting leader of the Lib Dems.

One Twitter user wrote: "Why does the BBC still insist on putting Ed Davey on TV?

"Is there a more irrelevant politician than that virtue signalling I love everybody, bloody Clown? They have 11 MPs and he promises the Earth to people.

"You can do when youll never have the power to give it. Waste of space."

Another tweeted: "Terrible start to the day - Ed Davey on BBC."
