'''Sir Ed Davey''' (born 1965), or the '''''"Snivelling Cretin"''''', has been [[Member of Parliament]] for Kingston and Surbiton in [[Surrey]] since 2017, having previously served as such between 1997 and 2015. He has also been leader of the [[Liberal Democrats]] since 2020.

Under the Cameron-Clegg coalition between the Tories and the Liberal Democrats, Davey served as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. In his role, he was described in March 2016 by James Dellingpole of ''[[Breitbart]]'' as "everything that’s wrong with Britain’s energy policy" and that his title of "Sir" exposed the worthlessness of the British honours system.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2016/03/09/sir-ed-davey-everything-thats-wrong-with-britains-energy-policy/ Sir. Ed. Davey: Everything That’s Wrong With Britain’s Energy Policy]</ref>

In 2020, Davey [[snitch|snitched]] on other politicians, such as [[Nigel Farage]], for allegedly breaking lockdown rules during the [[Chinese Communist Party pandemic]].<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/07/04/lib-dem-leader-tries-and-fails-to-narc-on-nigel-farage-for-having-a-pint-in-a-pub/  Liberal Democrat Leader Reports Nigel Farage to Police for Having a Pint]</ref> Ed Davey spent the early days of his party's 2024 United Kingdom general election campaign by embarrassing himself in failed stunts such as failling off a paddleboard in the [[Lake District]]. Ed Davey is known for spreading a [[conspiracy theory]] in January 2025 which accused [[Elon Musk]] of interfering in UK democracy after the libertarian billionaire criticised the UK establishment for covering up [[grooming gangs]] (mainly operated by males of Pakistani origin) in British towns and cities.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1997443/elon-musk-ed-davey-snivelling-cretin Elon Musk rips into Ed Davey, savagely calling him a ‘snivelling cretin’]</ref>
