Confirmed: Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson Charlie Maynard resigned this morning (as reported first by @PickardJE). There's been a big row in the Lib Dem WhatsApp group over the move - and talk of a showdown at next Tuesday's parliamentary party meeting. Daisy Cooper, the Lib Dem leader, has quickly moved to back Davey, in a bid to quell any further leadership manouvering. She says in a statement: "The vast majority of our MPs support Ed, want him to lead the party into the next election, and are furious at this distraction." She adds: "We Liberal Democrats are the last line of defence against a Reform UK government, and Ed is determined to lead a strong and united party into the next general election whenever it comes. "As Ed said at conference we are in the fight of our lives against the right who want to turn our country into their version of Trump's America."

The Tories and Reform can knock each other out for all I care. I'm not wasting any more energy arguing for unity. They'll find out the hard way. I couldn't care less about party politics. We're so f**ked.

@ZackPolanski needs to resign as Green Leader
