'Ed Davey is living proof that sometimes the personal and the political can mix in a way that benefits society as a whole.' Alastair Campbell

‘Why I Care is a heartfelt and emotional read in which Ed shares his own moving journey, alongside the inspiring stories of others. A powerful, important book that will change perceptions.’ Baroness Floella Benjamin OM DBE

‘A profoundly moving and essential read. With deep compassion and personal insight, Ed shines a light on the unsung heroes of our society — carers. This book is a heartfelt call to action, demanding we value, respect, and support those who give so much.’ Carol Vorderman

‘The British public believe Ed Davey is the most authentic of politicians: here’s why.’ Dan Snow

'It’s the role no one wants, or expects, to play. Yet millions fulfill it with little or no support, either financial or moral. Who cares for the carers? Sir Ed Davey has a powerful voice, and here he is using it in the best way possible; not as political leader but as carer. It should be on the desk of every politician in Westminster.' John Suchet

'A remarkable book, Why I Care is a heartwrenching account of the joys of caring for a disabled loved one and the nightmare of battling with the bureaucracy of the benefits system.' Sunday Times

'The title has a literal meaning that transforms this book into a sincere, pragmatic and powerful analysis of one of the most urgent dilemmas facing our country today. … Davey’s optimism and his pure love for his family, his obviously sincere concern, shines from his writing.' Telegraph

'Every morning at 6am, Sir Ed wakes up his severely disabled 17-year-old son, John, then cleans his teeth, bathes him and gives him his morning massage. In Why I Care, he frames this both an act of love and a foundational political insight.' Guardian

‘Among the most compelling, moving pieces of political prose I have read in a very long time.’ John Harris, Guardian

'Extraordinary.' Ben Shephard
