Boris Johnson has not spent a lot of time during the election giving speeches, or explaining his policy agenda. And he has spent even less time taking questions from journalists. But he has spent a lot of time posing for pictures, often giving the impression that he is clowning around, and he was at it again today, at the Royal Welsh Winter Show.

Ian Taylor, who was Conservative MP for Esher and Walton until 2010 and who was a prominent pro-European in the party, is backing the Lib Dem candidate in his old constituency, Monica Harding, and not his Tory successor, Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary. Taylor has explained why in an open letter to his old constituents. He says a hung parliament could lead to a second referendum, and that that could lead to a remain vote, which he says would be best for the country.

I am extremely grateful for Ian's support & the ever growing support I am receiving from constituents across #EsherandWalton. Many here, who represent the moderate ground, are laying aside tribal politics & putting our country first. I truly believe I can help achieve this. https://t.co/PXjPkj4LBi
