Ed Davey today dropped a major hint that he is prepared to prop up Labour after the next election to keep Reform out of power.

The Liberal Democrat leader vowed he 'will' go into government, hopefully leading 'huge numbers' of his party's MPs, in an interview at its annual conference.

Speaking in Bournemouth he said he believes there is a moral duty to keep Nigel Farage's party, which is ahead in the polls, out of government.

He also claimed his party could win 'way more' than 100 seats at the next election and 'there is no ceiling on our ambitions'.

Speaking separately to Matt Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live he said: 'I would go into government, right? Let me say that.'
