Ed Davey hasn’t had a great conference. First the jokes in the energy secretary’s speech bombed. Then a sign fell on his head on live television (above). Now he’s got Luciana Berger on his case over factual errors. The Labour MP has written to Davey to point out contrary to what he said in his conference speech, questions have been asked by the Labour front bench about climate change.
Here is what Berger had to Davey about the ‘untrue claims in your speech to Lib Dem party conference’:
Dear Mr Davey,
I am writing to you about factually inaccurate statements made in your speech to the Liberal Democrat party conference yesterday.
Specifically, you claimed that “not a single question on climate change” had been asked of you by the Labour frontbench during your time as Secretary State for Energy & Climate Change.
