Sir Ed Davey has accused the Conservatives of “moving away” from their values as he launched the Liberal Democrats’ local election campaign in Oxfordshire.

Appearing on Monday at an event at a golf club near Henley, Sir Ed declared the local elections “a two-horse race” as he sought to position the Lib Dems as “the party of Middle England”.
