Sir Ed Davey arrived at the Lib Dem conference in Brighton on a jet ski, keeping up his stunt entrances that helped him grab headlines during the election.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has called for a tax on the wealthiest instead of cutting support for 'struggling pensioners'. Speaking after arriving at the Lib Dem conference in Brighton on a jet ski, Sir Ed said his party is the only one offering up a solution on how to 'plug the awful financial mess the Conservatives left us with'.
' Sir Ed said his party would also reverse the tax cut the Conservatives gave banks 'to deal with the deficit and avoid these painful policies'. He said it is possible to give the winter fuel payments to all but the wealthiest pensioners and this has been done before with child benefit. 'But that's not what the government are proposing,' he added.
