Sir Ed Davey's first conference speech as Lib Dem leader had two broad themes: attacking the Conservatives and promising to prioritise cancer treatment. | ITV National News

Sir Ed Davey pledges that anyone referred for cancer treatment will be seen in two months under a Liberal Democrat government - Political Correspondent Harry Horton and Westminster Producer Lewis Denison report from Bournemouth

“The corruption of Boris Johnson. The chaos of Liz Truss. The carelessness of Rishi Sunak,” Sir Ed told his conference. “This whole Conservative shambles. They all have to go.”It is a deeply personal issue for him. He lost both parents to the disease and he spoke at length in Bournemouth about caring for his mother while a young teenager.

She died when he was 15 years old and he is now determined to use his position to tackle the disease."That’s why today I am announcing our new and ambitious plan to end unacceptable cancer delays and boost survival rates."
