Who’s that gesturing at the television? It’s Sir Ed Davey, of course, the leader of the Liberal Democrats. As part of a drive to get his name out there and woo Middle England before the next election, Sir Ed yesterday invited a photographer to watch the Women’s World Cup semi-final with him in a pub.
The photo, proudly posted to his social media feeds, was the result. Didn’t the snapper get in the way of the TV? Some were charmed, others called it staged. Yet more likened Davey’s raised fist and grimace to Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge character or a Scooby Doo villain chiding the meddling Mystery Gang.
