In case you missed Wednesday’s Sun front page, and practically every derogatory piece that’s ever been printed about Ed Miliband, the Labour leader’s main weakness is his poor sandwich-eating technique.
With just over 12 hours until polls open, and with mounting public feeling, the Sun’s pig-themed front page has inspired the hashtag #JeSuisEd.
The messy-eater selfies are intended to give the Labour leader some comfort that none of us look exactly prime ministerial when eating a breakfast buttie.
For most tweeters, a #solidaritysandwich was the obvious choice.

If you believe The Sun, I think this photo proves I am unfit to govern. When I am merely unfit #JeSuisEd pic.twitter.com/AfYYDqE7qr

After all, even supermodels don’t look great with a big mouthful of lunch...

And if you try to avoid it by eating a hot dog with a knife and fork (which is probably in contravention of some kind of US law), you’ll still definitely look silly.
In response to the press sinking to an all time low #JeSuisEd Instead of a selfie I thought I thought I'd share this pic.twitter.com/dmFto9DUNg
