**In a Disturbing Turn of Events: Man Charged with Stalking Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey**

A 58-year-old man named Inigo Rowland has been charged with stalking Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, and his family over several months. The charges arise from allegations that Rowland appeared unannounced at Davey’s south-west London home on multiple occasions between June and October. Additionally, he faces a charge for possessing a flick-knife. Inigo Rowland had his first court appearance at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on October 7, where he was remanded into custody.

Sir Ed Davey, who has been a prominent figure in the Kingston and Surbiton constituency, has expressed that his family’s safety is his top priority amidst the ongoing situation. The police confirmed that Rowland was arrested on October 6, correlating with the timeline of alleged incidents. He is expected to make another court appearance on Tuesday. Sir Ed, who has traversed a political journey including a loss and subsequent regain of his seat since 1997, remains focused on his family’s well-being during this unsettling time.
