Ed Davey. Don’t laugh at him, he’s not a fool.

Written and spoken by Tudor Rickards

In the 2024 General Election in the United Kingdom, The Liberal Democratic Party leader Ed Davey began to attract media coverage for a series of events which were unkindly described as political stunts. Davey was widely mocked by the press, and by the general public who appeared mostly confused about them.

An irate journalist for the Telegraph vented feelings implied by other media commentators

“[T]here is something a little depressing about a party that once served as the voice of Britain’s radical consciousness reducing itself to Davey’s aquatic antics. He managed to capsize his paddleboard no fewer than five times. That suggests either that the Lib Dem leader is as poor at watersports as he is at meeting aggrieved postmasters, or that he is truly desperate for attention”
