Commenting on this morning's announcement that Ed Davey has been elected leader of the Liberal Democrats, South Lakes MP and former leader of the party Tim Farron said: "I'm delighted to welcome Ed Davey as the new leader of our party.

"Leadership elections are long and tough contests, and I want to pay tribute to Layla Moran who has run a really energetic campaign.
