Leb Dem Leader's Conference speech
2 Oct 2020
Ed's first Leader's speech took place not in a packed hall but broadcast as he stood at a lectern in LDHQ.
You would have to have an incredibly hard heart not to be incredibly moved as he described caring for his terminally ill mum, his Nana and his 12 year old son John.
We know that there are around 700,000 young carers in the UK today, but how much thought have we actually given to the reality of their daily lives.
Ed described giving his mum tumblers of oral morphine before heading to school to help with her agonising cancer pain.
