    Ed Miliband came up a little short on his youth credentials today when he revealed he didn’t know who Vice news was – even going as far as admonishing one of the website’s reporters for asking him a cheeky question.

    During a press conference Mr Miliband was faced with a question from the organisation, a global online video channel with a huge young audience, the Labour leader replied: “What does Vice News do?”

    He was then asked “don’t you think this stage management bullshit is particularly alienating for young people”. “I don’t think you count as stage managed, do you Ben”, he added.

    Ed Miliband doesn't know what Vice News is. Perhaps he thought it was one of Richard Desmond's operations
