  • BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts.

  • So later on in this episode of Newscast,

  • we're going to be talking about something that you could perhaps classify as a political stunt,

  • which is an opportunity for us all to revisit our favourite political stunts.

  • Or maybe not favourite, because we don't have any views, obviously.

  • No, no. Ones that we really remember.

  • I just think when you say political stunt, there's only one name that springs to mind,

  • which is Ed Davey, because you can pick your stunt.

  • I mean, what is it?

  • Paddleboard, kayak, canoe, inflatable water slide, roller coaster.

  • He's become like the political stuntman of Westminster.

  • Evil Knievel.

  • The Tom Cruise of Westminster.

  • He'd love that.

  • Oh, absolutely.

  • Although, have you seen the new Mission Impossible?

  • Because he actually does run past Parliament.

  • I thought you were going to say Davey was in it for a minute there.

  • He's the baddie.

  • Oh, James.
