The Government is in crisis, but Ed Miliband is loving life as a town crier

Its been a hell of a day for Theresa May and her cabinet.

On Sunday night, Brexit secretary David Davis resigned from his position and then on Monday, Boris Johnson stepped down as foreign secretary.

That left Theresa May needing to organise a reshuffle, just two days after coming up with a plan for Brexit during a retreat in Chequers.

But if you cast your mind back a few years you might remember a time when Ed Miliband was leader of the Labour Party and vying to be prime minister.

Since leaving his position as Labours leader, Ed has been living his best life and doing everything he possibly couldnt do if he was prime minister.

And on Monday, that meant having a go at being a town crier to let us all know that its coming home.

He dressed up in all his finery while taking part on Jeremy Vines BBC Radio 2 programme to mark International Town Criers day.

Oyez, oyez, oyez. Its coming home, he called out. England/Croatia…. don your waistcoats and dare to dream. Its coming home, Its coming home.

Ive got a waistcoat on in honour of Gareth Southgate and town criers. Im feeling very town crierish…

But not everyone was thrilled with his attempts.

Professional town crier David Mitchell told him to stick to the day job.

It is not the first time he has taken part on the show – he even stood in for Vine last summer when he gave his best shot at death metal singing.
