Lib Dem leader Ed Davey clowns around on a bicycle after his paddleboard stunt sparked ridicule yesterday

Sir Ed Davey has been seen cycling around today in what appears to be the latest publicity stunt before the general election.

The Lib them leader could be seen with his legs wide open as he cycled during a visit to Knighton in Wales while on campaign.

It comes after a politician's love for a stunt saw him board – and then quickly and uncontrollably disembark – a paddleboard on Windermere, the scene of a highly controversial wastewater spill in February.

Earlier this month it was claimed that millions of liters of raw sewage were 'illegally' pumped into the Lake District beauty spot by United Utilities after a fault went unresolved for hours.

The Lib Dems are campaigning to ensure local environmental experts are given seats on water company boards as non-executive directors to 'improve public accountability and transparency'.

Sir Davey's embarrassing flop into the water was almost matched The extremely frothy pint of David Cameron he pulled in Macclesfield.

But it was nothing compared to when Rishi Sunak's football skills were ridiculed, including by the Labor Party, as he kicked a ball around with children in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
