Chris Mason: Lib Dems rally behind Davey as he pledges change

The Liberal Democrats don't tend to go for rhetorical fireworks or verbal kneecappings when grumbling about their leader. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been grumbling going on. In the last week, two members of Sir Ed Davey's frontbench have resigned because they were unhappy with him, the party's direction and how policy is decided. It meant the prospect of a lengthy and potentially testy meeting for Sir Ed with his MPs on Tuesday evening. The Liberal Democrat leader arrived smiling, flanked by several loyal MPs, but made no comment as he entered the room.
