Will Milimania end the way Cleggmania did?
If we didn’t all know how the story of Cleggmania ended five years ago, I might be tempted to start sounding off about Milimania. I refer most recently to the somewhat implausible spectacle of Ed Miliband being mobbed by a hen party, describing him alternately as “adorable” or “lovely”.
Implausible because this is the man who has been roundly mocked by the media for everything from gobbling a bacon sarnie to giving money to a homeless lady. So it does seem rather puzzling that he’s now getting the kind of reception to which Nick Clegg became accustomed before the bubble burst and he threw in his lot with David Cameron.
