    I'm assuming Ed Davey is going to end his election campaign by parachuting into his local polling station to cast his vote...

      One can only hope! I was at about the only event where he DIDN'T have a stunt going on. It's worked though, it's got more publicity and injected some fun into an general election campaign that's either been safety first (Labour) or like walking the plan (Conservative).

    Kier Starmer wanting to spend Friday evening with his family is admirable. I remember David Cameron went out for Sunday lunch with his wife Samantha and family. Set off home then realised they forgot their kids.

    This whole "they're not paid enough" thing is spurious. For lots of Tories, being an MP is passive income. The reason this has all been so bad for them is that the Tories are at best an idea-free zone, and at worst the polite version of Reform.

    The problem with regulating political advertising is that it can end up sounding like the government telling other political parties what they can and can't say. That's the traditional rationale at least.

    First impression of the reaction to the Starmer statement was revulsion. Second thought was why did he need to say it? Social media has pics of him at meetings, not having tea with family.
    First thought of Ed Davey antics was not another Bozo but second, after listening to callers, was complete conversion. What a great guy and drawing attention to disabilities left me with mixed humility and admiration

    Ed Davey feels to me like an earnest version of Boris Johnson. A Boris-but-he's-not-a-bastard. I remember a conversation with a friend back in 2015 about how bumbling, got-stuck-on-a-zipwire, Rugby-tackle-a-child Boris was getting her vote. Ed Davey's antics seem to me like that, but also he's trying to have some fun because the Lib Dems won't be a leading party anyway.

    Come on James. Please stop with the bet hedging. You can't seriously continue to come with the "nothing is guaranteed" thing. You begin to look disingenuous. If Labour return the numbers it looks like they will, you get to crow. If they don't, you get to say "see. Told you so". Granted it's a clever ploy, but really it's pretty dishonest isn't it?
