Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey has spoken to Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello about the insight his new book provides into his life as a carer.

Many of Davey’s loved ones have suffered with health issues, meaning he has taken on a caring role in many of their lives.

He reflects on how he became closer to his family as a result of him looking after them more.

Davey urged the Government to assist carers, saying his experience has given him ideas as to how it should be done.
