Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has become an internet sensation with a viral TikTok video that has garnered over 1.5 million views. The footage captures an interaction between Miliband and TikTok personality Feroz Khan on the streets of New York, where Miliband answers questions about his name, job, and offers a piece of advice.
The video, which leans into Miliband's perceived "awkward dad" persona, has been met with delight by his supporters and even a grudging smile from those less inclined to favor the Foreign Secretary. This unexpected social media success highlights the growing influence of platforms like TikTok in shaping public perception and political engagement.
