Poor Ed Miliband, finally people take a bit of notice - instead of saying "Ed Who" - and, rather unsurprisingly, it's just to mock.
It's not really been a good week, what with Harriet Harman making a (Freudian?) slip on Radio 4 and saying that she hoped David Miliband would be elected as Prime Minister at the next election, so venturing on Twitter to answer questions was always going to be a risk.
Still, hapless Ed took his chances with a question and answer session on Twitter, and the rather unsurprising result was jokers hijacking the show to ask all kinds of fun questions.
Here's just a few fun excerpts, makes a change for fun as it's seldom Ed and fun fit together in the same sentence, Ed and snoring is more common. Some we're far too polite to print, it really does appear that Ed has been rubbing the public up the wrong way.
"Do you ever look into Ed Balls' eyes, those burning little coals, & think 'He could kill and eat me now and no-one would care'?" posted by jedweightman.
"Do you have another job lined up for when your brother gets given yours" by WelshToy.
"Have you considered releasing a CD of your speech to help those with sleeping disorders nod off?" - from LadyStinkleBlow, and good idea, that may tie in with WelshToys question above, it could be a career for Ed, the UK's leading sleep therapist.
Some make a good point, like A_Liberty_Rebel tweeting "How does selecting MP candidates on basis of gender, race or class equate with your supposed dislike of discrimination?".
Or SmudgeThomas, with "Ed says he's got amnesia, pity the country hasn't he'd stand a better chance of winning the next election."
We'll allow this one through, "Why is your party conference a policy free circle jerk? Same question viz your party" from woodstockjag.
You get the idea, some with serious points, some with laughter, and at least we haven't had to listen to Ed's voice along the way.
Giving him a little kudos, Twitter is a brave move, but it does him little good. All it achieves is further highlighting the vacuous nature of his party and his hollow, pointless role as its charismatically challenged leader.
It will take Britain a long time to forget the Blair years. Indeed the legacy of mass immigration, cosying up to big business, and illegal wars New Labour presided over is still keeping on giving, we've reminders around us every day.
As for Ed? Ed who? Sorry, that amnesia has kicked in, although there was nothing memorable there to begin with and nothing worth paying attention to.

Harriet Harman has demanded that foreign aid spending continue to rise, despite the fact that we are facing mammoth cutbacks to our services at home.
Speaking at Labours Liverpool conference, Harman told listeners that it was harder to make the case for foreign aid in the light of the governments austerity drive but that we should still continue shelling out money abroad.
"...we must not make the world's poorest pay the price of a global financial crisis, precipitated by the greed and irresponsibility of the world's banking system" she said.
The average British taxpayer didn't get rich out of the "greedy and irresponsible" banking system either, but we're sure paying the price, and having to pay for foreign aid as well.
"And we should also pay tribute, too, to the massive support that comes from the communities of African origin in this country who are working hard here and sending money back home" Harman also said, surely informing us plainly that one effect of the multicultural society is that money is sent abroad and lost to the British economy.
The whole speech is a paean of praise for foreign aid, the great wonders it is working, and how we should spend more on it, accompanied by the odd - surely sexist - dig that a male development team can't empower "women and girls in the developing world".
Foreign aid fails, just ask the likes of Imran Khan, perhaps you should have invited him along to the conference to offer his opinion Harriet. Wait, he's not a woman, maybe it was a woman only shortlist to attend?
Sorry Harriet, we've heard it all before, and it's all the erroneous babble of the do gooder, or those with a vested interest in funnelling vast amounts of British money abroad.
By spending billions we compound problems, such as unsustainable population growth in lands which do not even have the resources to support their current populations, fuel corruption, and remove incentive for these countries to do a thing about fixing their own problems.
Our money is squandered, we throw it into a bottomless pit annually, the demands of foreign aid will never end, and seemingly - despite ploughing billions into some countries over the years - they still need more.
As a final word from Harriet, "But when people are dying unnecessarily and - we can help – that is what we must do".
We can agree on that, although of course not how Harriet intended - whilst one pensioner goes hungry in Britain, or dies of cold in winter, whilst one Brit suffers due to lack of medical care, whilst one British life can be saved were that money spent at home, that is what we must do, here at home is where we must spend our money.

A collection of five studies on immigration, commissioned by the Labour party during their decade of destruction but buried because the findings were too controversial and potentially damaging, are finally to see the light of day in what could well be political dynamite which will destroy forever the official myths that we are not being colonised and that immigration in itself is beneficial to us.
Already leaked to the Telegraph, the snippets which they have published are already a savage indictment of let 'em all in Labours abject failings on immigration, and raise many questions about why they chose to conceal the truth from us.
Among revelations in the documents aired by the Telegraph, we find the conclusion that immigrants to Britain are more likely to be out of work than the native population, and far less likely to engage in any form of "civic participation".
Also, more than one third of Londons population has been born outside of the UK. One third of those living in our capital! And the politicians have the gall to tell us that we are not being colonised?
Migrants from Bulgaria and Romania are shown to be more likely to have four or more children - colonisation by the cradle again, placing huge strain on education, NHS, and the welfare state.
As with recent figures which have shown Polands population decline whilst the number of Poles in Britain increase, the reports show that the population of both Bulgaria and Romania also declined between 2004 to 2010. Need we tell you that at the same time the number of Bulgarians and Romanians in the UK increased astronomically?
Unsurprisingly, the obvious also happened - unemployment levels in Bulgaria and Romania fell, whereas in the UK they increased. Who could have guessed that is what will happen when you have too many people chasing too few jobs?
On which note, also shown by the reports, is the fact that Bulgarians and Romanians were more likely to claim unemployment benefits than either native Brits or other migrants groups in Britain.
And, what is the best that Labour can manage to say on the issue? Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper admits that Labour "got things wrong" on immigration.
Admitting you "got things wrong" is all fine and dandy, even though it is a huge understatement and does absolutely nothing to repair the damage which has been done to Britain.
Saying you should have done it differently, great help to us.
What are the Labour party going to do in order to undo and reverse the nightmare of mass immigration and overpopulation, along with the burdens that places on all of our critical services and national infrastructure?
Nothing, that's what. You got it wrong, and we're expected to live with it for ever more.
Many believe that Labour didn't get it wrong by accident, there was design there. Whatever the truth, the Labour legacy is an overcrowded nation flooded with immigrants, and it is a legacy which - despite Camerons tough talking - ConDem has carried on.
Getting it wrong just doesn't cut it one bit, politicians seem to get it wrong all too often, and it is always us and Britain left paying the price.
Instead of just holding up hands with a weak "we got it wrong" and not even the decency to offer a true apology, how about admitting to the full extent of just how you got it wrong, the damage which that has caused, and then actually doing something that will put it right for once?
No, of course not, your wrongs are something the rest of us will be paying the price of for a long time, and you'll just expect us to lump it and accept a half hearted semi apology in the way of penitence.
Our society has been changed forever as a result of your getting it wrong, and the process of change is ongoing - and it isn't change for the better.
Labour was, and is, a disaster for Britain - and sadly, as we are finding out currently, Tory and Liberal are no better.
Not only have all of them got it wrong, they all continue to get it wrong. We can see with our own eyes that Britain and Britains future is not safe in any of their hands.
Whichever of them is in power Britain will continues its journey towards overpopulated and colonised land, and by way of an excuse we'll get no more than a "we got things wrong" from the lot of them.
Many times we don't even get that feeble excuse though, normally it's point at one of the other parties and tell us that "they got it wrong".
As they make excuses and trade blame, and do nothing in the way of fixing things, the colonisation of our Britain continues.
*We'll bring you an update and complete analysis once the full studies are published.

According to a poll carried out for the Times, 47% of Labour supporters think that Ed Miliband will never become Prime Minister, with 22% strongly believing that he will never make it to Number 10.
Tell us something we didn't know, Ed - Ed Who? as I like to call him - has made no impact on the voters whatsoever, he hasn't even made much of an impact on his own party.
As politicians go he is possessed of that unique skill to make people stop listening. We've fast learned that he hasn't much to say, and that he'll say it with all the charisma of Mr Bean on sleeping tablets.
Labours lead in opinion polls comes in spite of Ed Who and his comatose style of leadership, not because of it.
ConDem's useless coalition is a boon to Labour in the opinion polls, with disaffected Liberals angry at Cleggs sellout to the Tories and puppet on a string position in the coalition, signalling their support for a Labour party that will forever wear the millstone of the Blair years around its neck.
Whether that will translate into votes for Labour should there be a general election is anyones guess, people will not quickly forget the ruinous decade of Labours misrule we just suffered.
What we really have are lame ducks from all three of the big parties - Climbdown Cameron, Clueless Clegg, and Ed Who?
The coalition has failed, with the Liberal Democrats now finding themselves facing decades trying to win back the core support they so keenly sold out to get their moment in office.
Cameron and the Conservatives have done a good job blaming every climbdown, weak policy, and coalition shortcoming, on the Liberals, but that act is wearing thin. Britain will not forget all those broken pledges any time soon.
Which leaves us with Labour and Ed Who?, picking up some support not because people really back them but rather because they're just aggrieved at the flop of a coalition that, far from fixing Britains ills, is going to add to the mess Labour made.
It's an interesting time, and a sad one. Voting - when people can be bothered to vote, apathy reigns - for Lib/Lab/Con now really comes down not to which will do the best for Britain, but rather for which might do the least damage or whichever one hasn't been in office and upset people most recently.
None of the big three have a thing to offer, their lacklustre leaders are fitting symbols for their parties as a whole.
Ed can take comfort at one thing though, and that's the fact that neither himself, Clegg, or Cameron are up to much.
Chin up Ed, you'll never make it to Number 10 it's true, but that's a blessing in disguise for you, obscurity is better than bumbling through a term in office and being remembered as yet another failure who wrecked Britain.
You're the lucky one. When - well, if - people remember your name, it will be with less anger than Clegg and Cameron will be remembered for their abysmal coalition of broken promises and betrayals of Britain.
Just another politician who got nowhere and faded away is a far better political legacy than that.
