The day before polling day, the tabloid newspaper used the full photo on its front page, partially super-imposed with the headline "Save Our Bacon", with bylines reading "This is the pig's ear Ed made of a helpless sarnie. In 48 hours, he could be doing the same to Britain" above, and "Don't swallow his porkies and keep him out". This was interpreted by The Independent as a front page "entirely dedicated to mocking the Labour leader over the infamous incident." It sparked another Twitter trend in a show of support for the Labour leader, with users sharing photos of themselves eating bacon sandwiches and other food in a deliberately messy fashion, with the hashtag #JeSuisEd, in reference to .
Cameron's Conservatives won the general election with an unexpected overall majority. Following Labour's defeat, Miliband resigned as leader. It is unclear what effect, if any, the photograph had on the eventual result.
What we do know is the result of that General Election majority was a mandate for the Brexit referendum, and the lead up to many of the problems we now have today.

A subreddit for breaking news and discussion concerning the British Labour Party, the broader Labour movement in the UK, and UK politics. The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party led by Keir Starmer, elected leader in 2020. It is the largest party in the UK with around 400,000 members, with a significant presence in the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd. If you're a Liberal Democrat, a Green or even a Conservative, you'll find us a worthwhile community to follow.
Some good news, Ed Miliband has, in his first week on the job, forced through three new solar farms previously blocked by planning disputes:
Sunnica Energy Farm:
Mallard Pass Solar Farm:
Gate Burton Energy Park:
These have been mired in expensive planning disputes for years and years. Now, the new government has enabled them by fiat with a simple flick of the wrist.
This constitutes about 1.5GW of clean energy generated yearly, or enough to power several hundred thousand houses.
Not everyone is happy about it. Look at this Tory MP, accusing him of, er, genocide:
