Ed Davey screams message to voters as he bungee jumps in election stunt

Sir Ed Davey urged voters to take a “leap of faith” and back his party as he took part in a bungee jump stunt on the campaign trail.

As the election campaign enters its final days, the Liberal Democrat leader could be heard shouting, “Do something you’ve never done before – vote Liberal Democrat,” as he flung himself from the crane platform at a football ground in Eastbourne, East Sussex. An onlooker could be heard saying: “Is there anything he won’t do” as he seeks an election poll bounce for the Lib Dems.

Sir Ed’s campaign has been filled with eye-catching stunts as the Liberal Democrats battle for airtime against Labour, the Tories and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. He has been photographed paddle boarding, riding rollercoasters, going down waterslides, playing tennis and dancing on the campaign trail, in a bid to grab media coverage and to catch the eyes of fed-up voters.

Sir Ed has said the stunts are meant to be brighten up the election campaign but they have a serious message. When he went paddle boarding in Lake Windermere, he was making a point about sewage polluting Britain’s waterways.
