Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey on Tuesday defended his many campaign stunts as a way of underlining serious political points, including a new promise to deliver free personal care for people either at their own house or in care homes.
Sir Ed, whose son is disabled, said the “deeply personal” policy vow would cost £3.7 billion including a pledge of higher wages for carers - paid for by ending Conservative tax breaks for banks and by savings generated from reducing pressure on hospitals.
