		</div><p>Jo Swinson has been elected leader of the Liberal Democrats.</p>
<p>Ms Swinson beat former cabinet member Sir Ed Davey to replace Sir Vince Cable at the helm of the Lib Dems.</p>
<p>Ms Swinson, an ex-minister, had been the bookies’ favourite to take the party crown.</p>
<p>The East Dunbartonshire MP has served as Sir Vince’s deputy since June 2017.</p>
<p>Kingston and Surbiton MP Sir Ed served as energy secretary in the coalition government under David Cameron.</p>
<p>Ms Swinson triumphed in a ballot of party members as the Lib Dems are enjoying a revival due to their outspoken opposition to Brexit.</p>
<p>The party has 12 MPs – bolstered by Chuka Umunna’s decision to join last month – and came second in the European elections, winning 20% of the vote share.</p>
<p>The Lib Dems also enjoyed a surge at the local elections in response to their anti-Brexit stance.</p>
<p>Ms Swinson has suggested that if Boris Johnson enters Number 10 and is committed to Brexit on October 31 with or without a deal then the Lib Dems could be boosted even further.</p>
