Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey launches the party's local election campaign in Henley-on-Thames in south Oxfordshire.Appearing on Monday at an event at a golf club near Henley, Sir Ed declared the local elections "a two-horse race" as he sought to position the Lib Dems as "the party of Middle England".Illustrating his point, he rode a hobby horse over a series of jumps before smashing through a blue fence, vowing to do the same to the Tories on May 1.
