Milibandimania! Watch as Ed Miliband mobbed by screaming ladies

Ed Miliband's transformation from punchline into rockstar Prime Minister is almost complete.

By Media Mole

Ed Miliband’s transformation into a rockstar stepped up when he was mobbed by a hen party in Chester. No, really.

Your mole is confused.
