Ed Balls’s

performance on Strictly Come dancing has been magnificent. His reinvention which started on the Great British Bake Off is just about complete. No, he can’t dance, but he can entertain and proved he has the capacity not to take himself too seriously. Ed Miliband, left, should try something similar. He could start by appearing on Jeremy Kyle to explain away his ‘sibling issues’. If that goes well he would be a natural for Robot Wars before finishing on the programme which sums up his leadership of the Labour Party. Pointless. But not the celebrity edition.
