Tim Farron tries not to get egg on his face as he makes breakfast for voters in attempt to revive flagging election campaign
Lib Dem leader was visiting a café in Edinburgh this morning where he said PM must back up her ‘enough is enough’ words on terrorism with action
TIM Farron was trying to not end up with egg on his face as he was pictured making breakfast for voters this morning.
The Lib Dem leader donned an apron and was seen making sandwiches in a café in Edinburgh as he tries to revive his flagging campaign.
As the polls have seen the Tory lead stretch to more than 20 points and then fall as low as just one point, his party’s figures have remained largely static.
The pro-Remain party’s much vaunted “Lib Dem fightback” has failed to materialise and predictions they would win back dozens of seats have been scaled back.
Mr Farron is on a trip to Scotland, a region where they hope to make gains, and used a campaign event to say the Prime Minister must back up her "enough is enough" words on terrorism with action.
He said: "Theresa May said enough is enough, but enough was enough the first time around.
“And, if that is the case, and it surely is, then the time is done with talking; we need to invest in our police and our security services."

Mr Farron accused the Government of "easy, knee-jerk reactions" rather than doing the things that would really make a difference, like putting more funding into counter-terrorism.
And he issued a challenge to Mrs May to publish a report thought to focus on alleged Saudi funding of extremist groups in the UK.
Mr Farron said the PM must be ready to have "difficult and embarrassing conversations" with the Gulf kingdom, to which the UK recently approved arms export licences worth £3.5billion.
But he himself was savaged on his terror record in an interview with the BBC before the London Bridge attack.
Presenter Andrew Neil put the Lib Dem boss on the spot over his support for repealing measures such as a crackdown on encryption.
Mr Farron pledged to spend £300million more on the police, suggesting the security services "have the powers that they need, but what they need are the resources to make use of them".
