Debriefing the Liberal Democrats' party conference

The Liberal Democrat leader certainly knows how to make an entrance.

From bungee jumping in Eastbourne during the general election, to arriving at his party's conference in Brighton on a jet ski last year, this year's autumn gathering was no less eye-catching.

Sir Ed Davey arrived in Bournemouth on Saturday at the helm of a marching band. Confetti canons were released as he drummed along to the tune of Sweet Caroline.

While they claim stunts like these helped them win a record number of seats at last year's election, some in the party think they are wearing thin, with calls behind the scenes for a more serious approach.
