Sir Ed Davey took part in a bungee jump as he urged voters to take a similar âleap of faithâ and back the Liberal Democrats on Thursday.
The Lib Dem leader sought a General Election poll bounce for his party by flinging himself off a crane platform while shouting: âDo something youâve never done before â vote Liberal Democrat.â
One onlooker at the event in Eastbourne, East Sussex, could be heard saying: âIs there anything he wonât do?â â a nod to Sir Edâs stunt-laden campaign, which has also included paddleboarding and rollercoasters.
Sir Ed was seen smiling after the jump as his harness was removed.

Speaking ahead of polling day, Sir Ed said: âTo get the change our country needs this week and beat the Conservatives in scores of seats, I am asking people to take a leap of faith and vote for the Liberal Democrats.
âA lot of people are on the cusp of doing something theyâve never done before on Thursday and voting for the Liberal Democrats, so I decided to do something Iâve never done before, too.
âEvery vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to fix the NHS and care, end the sewage scandal and tackle the cost-of-living crisis.â
