In memory of our fallen soldier, here are the best political Vines of our time. Gone from our screens, but not from our hearts. Not from our hearts.
1. School children refusing to pass the ball to George Osborne
2. Ed Miliband flashing a sexy smile
3. Ed Miliband flashing a sexy fake smile
4. Nick Clegg greeting fine upstanding members of the public
5. Jeremy Corbyn laying down the law
