Emily Davey, the wife of Sir Ed Davey, has revealed that she has multiple sclerosis, while warning of a health emergency with thousands of people suffering from mobility issues still failing to get the support they need after the pandemic.
Davey, a housing expert and Liberal Democrat councillor who has been married to the party leader for 17 years, said revealing her longstanding medical condition was “not a decision lightly made” but that she had deteriorated during lockdown and was aware others were struggling.
