Sir Ed Davey slides down ski slope in war against potholes

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey hit the campaign trail with a trademark political stunt - (PA Wire)

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey took a novel approach to highlighting the state of roads and “failure” to tackle potholes as he skidded down a steep slope in a rubber ring.

Joined by fellow Lib Dem MPs, councillors, and candidates, the stunt at the Gloucester Ski Centre aimed to draw attention to what he called years of neglect by the Conservative party at Gloucestershire County Council.
