After steadying the board, Davey attempted to stand up but within a few seconds lost his balance and fell into the water. He fared little better after carefully remounting the board on his knees.

Ed any news on the 'Post Office Enquiry ' you chose to ignore , when hard working decent people were being abused with accusations, some even put in prison.
Rishi could never
Amazing news.
Wow. I'm going to bed now, keep me updated though.
Omg look how normal and relatable he is 😊😊😊
So what? This is not newsworthy.
Did he pay you for the publicity?
Hasn't Lake Windermere got enough pollution in it without ED Davey adding to it lol
IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN…
MEANWHILE IN IMPORTANT NEWS…..
The Circus is in town
When a paddleboard becomes a launchpad for news – an aquatic press release.
Go away
I am a very well respected individual!
Nothing tops Kinnock going into the sea in 1983 Brighton.
The things some people will do to grab a bit of the limelight. I knew this Election was plumbing the depths but that's taking it a bit too literally.
Wibbly wobbly just like his campaigning
"News" in 2024 = "any content" 👌
He is sunk, just like the Lib Dems chances of ever being a government! 😂
VAR confirms own goal due to Davey taking a dive. Choose a card, any card, so long as it's red.
What a prat 😅
How is this news?
Repeat Boris & the zip wire ❓
They say there is no such thing as bad publicity but I’m not convinced‼️
Is that his slogan ‘Soak the Rich’
sir😳😳
He was also going down a water slide, Ed the comedian of this election 🙄
I just hope the Lib Dems don't get anywhere near No 10, after the last time they were in coalition, the Tories conceded too much in order to be back in government 😐
brass necked man ( ignored postmasters pleas ) toad
LOL
Steady hand on the tiller of the nation
The lake smells of algea rot from the scat discharged into it
Ed Davey is out here living his best life
Clearly his political career is sinking 😂
Irrelevant man falls off paddleboard….
