Crack open the champagne and settle down for hours of social media lolz. It's Ed Balls Day again. Ed Balls
 
It's the fourth anniversary of what has become one of the finest tweets the political world has ever seen. Back on April 28, 2011, the shadow chancellor tweeted his own name. And things were never the same again. Ed Balls
