Ed Davey signals the Lib Dems are ready to do a deal with Labour to block a 'hugely damaging' Tory-Reform coalition

Current polling suggests a general election held now would leave no single party with a majority, and Sir Ed Davey has his sights set on a coalition with Andy Burnham's Labour. The Lib Dem leader is mapping out a path that could return his party to government. He insists the Lib Dems have a 'moral responsibility to win'. His party is still struggling to say where it stands in Britain's increasingly fragmented politics.

Two of Davey's own frontbenchers resigned in a failed coup to oust him.

The revolt has left Davey confronting the gravest crisis of his leadership to date.
