Opposition Ed Davey was appointed as Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats following the resignation of Jo Swinson.

Davey announced his first frontbench team as Acting Leader in January 2020.

[1] Davey was elected permanent Leader on 27 August 2020 and assembled a new Frontbench Team in the following days.

Following the 2024 general election, Davey's frontbench team became the second largest opposition party to the governing Labour Party, behind the Shadow Cabinet of Rishi Sunak.

This was also subsequent to former frontbench members Layla Moran, Alistair Carmichael, and Jamie Stone standing down from the frontbench after being elected to chair parliamentary select committees.
