He's fallen into the water, sped down a slide, and wobbled on a bike.

Sir Ed Davey has been desperate to capture our attention and he’s succeeded. Not just with a bewildering array of stunts but also by talking movingly about his life as a carer for his severely disabled son.

His political life has been rather like the rollercoaster he was photographed on. The high was a spell at the cabinet in coalition with the Conservatives. The low being kicked out of parliament as voters punished him and his Liberal Democrat party for delivering austerity and breaking their promises on tuition fees.

Now he’s on the up again with polls suggesting he may double, treble or, even, quadruple the number of MPs he has.

What, though, does he really stand for and can he regain the trust of those who felt betrayed by the years he was in power?

That's the focus of my conversation with him on the latest - and the last - of my election interviews for BBC Panorama. We talk about those years in power - his regrets and what he learned - and what he says he’d do with influence in the next parliament.

You can see soon - 19.30 BST on BBC1, iPlayer and right here on this page.

You can watch any or all of seven leaders interviews on iPlayer. It’s been a privilege to interview seven leaders at length in prime time for almost half an hour each. I hope you’ve enjoyed them.

Rishi Sunak told his party’s conference last year that he was proud to be the first British Asian Prime Minister- but that he was even prouder that it was "just not a big deal".

Today though he confronted, head on, the idea that for some people the colour of his skin is a problem.

Rishi Sunak deliberately repeated the word he said it "hurt" to hear, refusing to substitute it for a euphemism.

It’s a word that may trigger painful memories for some, that should have no place in society, let alone in public life.

The prime minister has repeatedly acknowledged throughout this campaign that he understands people are frustrated with him or may not agree with him.

But on this, he was clear - and his response was powerful.

Leading members of the Labour Party in Islington North – the north London seat represented by Jeremy Corbyn since 1983 - have resigned, or announced they are willing to be expelled, to campaign for him.

The former Labour leader is standing as an independent in the constituency. Corbyn had the Labour whip suspended in 2020, when he suggested the scale of antisemitism was “dramatically overstated” by opponents and it was never restored to him.

Now many members of the Labour Party’s executive in the constituency have written a "resignation letter", addressed to voters. Signatories include the chair and two vice-chairs – who tendered their resignations in the past week – and an assistant secretary, who expects to be expelled.

The letter says local Labour members were “denied the right to choose our own candidate” for the general election.

Corbyn’s supporters will see this as a boost for his campaign. The Labour Party declined to comment – except to say its rule book was clear that any member who supports a non-Labour candidate will be expelled if they have not resigned already.

A recent opinion poll in the constituency suggested Corbyn was trailing behind the official Labour candidate Praful Nargund.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has denied his party is leading efforts to oppose new homes being built.

In an interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson, Davey was challenged with examples where Lib Dem councillors or MPs had argued against housebuilding plans in their areas.

In response, he gave his own examples of where he said the party was building more homes or being criticised for building too many.

The Lib Dem leader said he supported a "community-led approach", where more affordable homes were built in the right places, alongside infrastructure like schools, GP surgeries and transport.

Davey argued the current planning system was not building the homes the country needed and was "doing it to the developers tune".

Finally, we're going to head to the Singing Kettle café in Pontardawe.

Owner Paula Fornelos says, for her, this election is about one issue: “There’s no money in people’s pockets, they’re spending less and less, because they haven’t got it.”

Redrawing the boundaries has seen Pontardawe, added to the new Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe constituency.

Brecon and Radnor’s elected either a Conservative or a Liberal Democrat MP for the last 50 years.

Cwm Tawe has, at every election since 1922, voted Labour.

“We don’t have much in common with Brecon,” says Paula, “there used to be a bus, but that’s gone now too.”

Most decisions about what happens in Wales are made by MSs in the Senedd in Cardiff.

The Welsh NHS, education and agricultural policies are devolved.

Spending pledges in England matter because something called the Barnett formula means the more government money that’s spent on health, for example, across Offa’s Dyke, will lead to extra cash for Wales - although ministers can spend it how they want.

In West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine in north-east Scotland, the Conservatives are looking to hold on to a seat that the SNP would love to win back.

It looks like a tight race in a seat that was recently also held with the Liberal Democrats.

The constituency neighbours Aberdeen - the oil and gas capital of Europe - but it is also very agricultural.

Runners at the local Canicross Club in Maryculter, make it clear that energy policy will be on their minds when they cast their votes.

Many people want to see accelerated progress in the transition from oil and gas to renewables to protect jobs and the environment.

Derbyshire political reporter

Just like our neighbours in Staffordshire, Derbyshire has had it’s fair share of political big-hitters.

The Erewash town of Ilkeston was chosen by Conservative leader Rishi Sunak to kickstart the Conservative Party’s election campaign.

Labour leader Keir Starmer and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves followed suit less than three days later in Derby, highlighting early on that the region is a key battleground for the two big parties.

The Tories hold nine out of 11 seats in Derbyshire.

Some have large majorities but with Reform UK standing in all of them - where the Brexit Party didn’t in 2019 - Conservative candidates with sizeable buffers will be nervous. Labour are snapping at their heels.

One issue that’s very prominent in this campaign is the lack of NHS dentists across the region. A recent report by health bosses highlighted ‘dental deserts’.

In Ripley, a town of 20,000 people, there is no NHS dentist and one voter told me they’re still with their childhood dentist in Grimsby - more than 70 miles away - because they can’t access one locally.

Didcot has seen thousands of new homes built in recent decades and was promised a new GP surgery - but it still hasn't been built.

As a result, residents are telling me they're really struggling to get appointments.

I’m sure it’s coming up on the doorstep for the candidates here as well.

Julie Ray from Didcot told me she ended up going to hospital, after struggling to get an doctor's appointment for a case of shingles around her eye.

Afterwards she told me she felt let down: "I said to my husband I think we should just set up a Facebook page for self-help in Didcot or something."

Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire & West Berkshire Integrated Care Board told me it's "approved the business case" and has agreed to provide additional funding for a new GP surgery in Didcot.

But there's still lots of hoops before building can start, including agreeing planning permission and leases.

Of the 18 constituencies in Northern Ireland, Belfast East is one of the key battlegrounds.

It is home to Northern Ireland’s devolved government at Stormont, and takes in the city's shipyard where the Titanic was famously built.

Film studios here were also used for the hit fantasy drama series Game of Thrones.

But the real-life ‘Game of Thrones’ in this constituency is a battle between two party leaders.

The incumbent Gavin Robinson, the new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), is facing a challenge from Naomi Long, leader of the Alliance Party.

They have gone head-to-head for this seat on three previous occasions, with Robinson emerging each time as the winner.

But in the last Westminster election in 2019, the margin between them narrowed to around 1,800 votes.

With a broader field of candidates in the race this time, and some constituency boundary changes, this contest is considered too close to call.

Like all the seats up for grabs in West Central Scotland, the battleground in Coatbridge and Bellshill is effectively a straight contest between the SNP and Labour.

All of these seats are notionally SNP as we go into the vote, but Labour hope they will be able to turn as many as possible red.

For half a century, these seats - which were largely industrial areas - were traditionally Labour.

But the momentum shifted and after the independence referendum 2014 the SNP took over with some huge majorities.

Like many of the constituencies in this area the cost of living has been on voters’ minds.

At the Jo Jingles baby and toddler group in Coatbridge mum Adele Doolan tells me "having a young family and trying to support them is quite a challenge these days."

She says: "Even your average shopping bills went up by about £30 per week so if you calculate that over the cost of the month that's quite a lot."

Herefordshire political reporter

With its beautiful countryside and black-and-white timber-framed villages, North Herefordshire is a properly rural constituency.

In general elections it’s normally a safe Tory seat.

In 2019, they won a majority of almost 25,000. But this time, this seat is being hard fought.

In recent years the environment has become increasingly important issue.

Once named the “nation’s favourite river”, the Wye is now plagued by pollution, chiefly from agriculture.

Many voters want to know what politicians will do to make it safe to swim in again.

The high cost of housing, whether it’s renting or buying, is a big issue for people in Norfolk.

It’s a particular problem in North Norfolk, where more than one out of 10 properties is either second homes or long-term empty.

With its beautiful coastline it’s a lovely place for people from outside the area to have a holiday home.

But that makes it very difficult for local people to get on the housing ladder.

Charlotte Spendlove, 25, recently became Miss Cromer – the town’s carnival queen. Despite the fact that she’ll be leading the town’s annual parade this summer, she can’t actually afford to live here.

She told me that one-bedroom flats she’s looked at cost between £700 and £800 a month.

Charlotte did try renting in Cromer last year, but it was a miserable experience: “I had three jobs going on at the time, just working to live is not brilliant. It’s not a healthy way of living at all.”

Miles Davis
Devon political reporter

The day after the election was called I came out to Sidmouth on the south coast of Devon to speak to people about the main issues for them in this election.

The first woman I spoke to as I walked down the promenade was a sea swimmer who raised the issue of water quality and sewage pollution.

She was one of an increasing number of people who have taken up swimming in the sea or in rivers all year round

They say it’s great for physical and mental fitness and - another big benefit - it’s free.

But as the number of swimmers, surfers and paddle-boarders continues to rise, there’s more interest in water quality and pollution.

Water companies still pump out untreated sewage into rivers and seas and people want to know more about what political parties are doing to hold water companies to account.

We’re hearing from our local BBC political reporters about how the election is shaping up in their area - with very different insights across the UK.

Sunak and Starmer have both hit the campaign trail hard in Stoke - but in Bradford, there’s been a distinct lack of political battle buses.

Elsewhere, booming tourism is on the minds of some in the picturesque Lake District, while small boats arriving on the Kent beaches is worrying many voters in the South East.

Next up, we’re headed to Devon.

Fermanagh and South Tyrone is geographically the largest constituency in Northern Ireland - but it is also the tightest contest.

This seat was won by just 57 votes in the last general election in 2019, making it the most marginal in the UK.

It has been held for most of the past 20 years by Sinn Féin, an Irish republican party which doesn’t take its seats at Westminster.

Sinn Féin’s candidate this time is former trade union boss Pat Cullen, who led nurses in UK-wide strike action in recent years.

She is facing a challenge from Ulster Unionist Party councillor Diana Armstrong.

Other unionist parties have stepped aside to support her.

It means this constituency is shaping up to be another head-to-head battle, with Northern Ireland’s constitutional future a key dividing line.

And based on previous results, this one could once again come down to the wire.

We're still hearing from our BBC political reporters about how the election is playing out in their area.

Barry Island knows what’s occurin’ - and that’s not because it’s home to Nessa’s slot machines in Gavin and Stacey.

It’s because it’s in the bellwether seat of the Vale of Glamorgan.

For the last 40 years the winning party here’s gone on to form the government in Westminster.

It was the first place Rishi Sunak visited on day one of the campaign.

You might remember he was met with an awkward silence when he asked people at a brewery in Barry if they were looking forward to the Euros – a tournament Wales hadn’t qualified for.

It’s a top target for Labour because just a 2.6% swing’s all they would need to win the seat from the Conservatives.
