Lib Dem leader Ed Davey cries as he shares struggles of caring for his disabled son
Lib Dem leader Ed Davey broke down in tears as he opened up on the struggles of caring for his disabled son.
Mr Davey and his wife Emily Gasson discussed their hopes for their 16-year-old son John, who was born severely disabled, before the Lib Dem leader was reduced to tears.
In an interview with Sky News, released on Tuesday (25 June), Mr Davey said: “We want to enable him to be as independent as possile and be the wonderful boy and man he can be.”
Mr Davey then praised the support of carers, before getting visibly emotional and bowing his head.
He said: “No one is going to hold him like we do.”
