Don't let Trump interfere with UK democracy, Davey tells PM

In a statement, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to prevent former US President Donald Trump from interfering with UK democracy. Davey's comments come in response to the US national security strategy, which warns that Europe faces "civilisational erasure." Davey has expressed concern over the potential for Trump to meddle in the UK's democratic processes, as he has done in the past. The former US president has a history of making inflammatory statements and supporting populist, nationalist movements, which Davey believes could undermine the UK's democratic institutions. The Lib Dem leader has called on Sunak to take a firm stance against any attempt by Trump or his allies to influence the UK's political landscape. Davey emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the UK's democratic system and ensuring that it remains free from foreign interference.
