2016 was such a strange year when the unexpected happened. There was Brexit and Trump but there was nothing so strange as certain of us actually getting to like Ed Balls.
So, today, on Ed Balls Day, here is something to amuse or shock you. (Delete as applicable). You will never be able to unsee it, though.
Tim Farron, who caused yesterday’s social media sensation, “smell my spaniel” marked the occasion:

Something e3veryone can do: chant his name.
For those who think that the UK would be a better place is Jeremy Corbyn was not Labour leader, please note that Ed Balls has said that he has No ambitions in that direction”. This is not the most comprehensive denial, he does not say “if elected I would not serve”.
Ed Balls in Trumpland does contain a few laughs and some embarrassment. In order to be properly dressed for an evening event at a Trump fundraiser he is sprayed all over with fake tan wearing only his underpants.
He also eats grits (mealies) at an eatery amid laughter and adds plenty of syrup to improve the dish amid further laughter.
He goes hunting for squirrels in woodland and shoots a television which had been dumped. Being a busy man he may have missed the TV program in which UK Forestry Commission workers try to shoot squirrels in deciduous woodland in the winter and cook the results for lunch. Apparently they have a nutty flavour and are available online.
The series ends with Trump’s address to the NRA, after a school shooting.
