David Cameron saved a trapped sheep when he plunged waist-deep into a swamp to haul it to safety.
The Prime Minister spotted the struggling ewe while on his way home from a neighbour’s farm, it has emerged.It became stuck after going into the swamp to save her two lambs, which drowned.
Farmer Julian Tustian, 43, said: “When I got there, David was in the swamp, along with the two police bodyguards.“He was brilliant, pulling, pushing and shoving. He was covered in mud, he looked a mess."It’s nice to see – the police didn’t have to do that, neither did David.“I thought they would be on the bank pointing at the sheep.
“I was glad he was there doing it, not me. It was very wet weather and getting dark.”The ewe, saved on March 1 near Chipping Norton, Oxon, has now been named Swampy and is “very happy”.Mr Tustian added the PM often popped in if he was lambing: “He likes to get away from the real world.”Lambs around the country are dying in the cold weather.
