The Lib Dems leader spoke about the reason behind his antics, as he released a moving and personal campaign video about caring for his son and late mother.
Behind Sir Ed Davey's comic campaign trail stunts, there is a "very serious" message, the Liberal Democrat leader has said.
Facing questions about the optics of his campaign trail so far, Sir Ed said: “I think others can make their own views. “When I came down that slide with those children, that was about mental health – the mental health of our children and young people – which has again been ignored by the Conservatives."The Lib Dems leader also apologised after he was caught speeding at 73mph near Caddington, in Bedfordshire.
He said his party had done “so well” at recent local elections and that “people now know Liberal Democrats can win” in places like the West Country and Home Counties. “What I’m clear about is our Liberal Democrat ideas on the NHS and care, on tackling the sewage scandal, on the cost of living, they are attracting Conservative voters as well.
