Watch: this 8 Mile remix of “Ed Miliband: A Portrait” wins at politics

There’s vomit on his fleece already.

By Media Mole

The general election is officially over for this mole. And a guy called Jack Lilley won it.

Labour’s recent election broadcast, the tense piano-laden Ed Miliband: A Portraithas been remixed to Eminem’s Lose Yourself  in this new 8 Mile version.

And it’s gripping how closely Ed’s story mirrors the Detroit rap battle-based lyrics. He even bops along the pavement in his fleece in time to the hip-hop beat.
