As a rule,Lee Do British politicians tend to be fairly stuffy on Twitter.

They're so conscious about saying the right thing that they often end up spouting generic statements that don't really say anything at all.

Ed Miliband used to be a bit like that. Back when he was the Labour leader campaigning for the 2015 general election, a typical tweet of his would look something like this:

Pretty ordinary, right?

After the 2015 election was over and he stepped down as Labour leader, though, things changed. The predictable, cautious Ed vanished, and something altogether sassier was unleashed.

From self-deprecating jokes to spectacular shutdowns, here are some of Miliband's most badass post-election tweets.

1. The time he put Piers Morgan firmly in his place.

2. The time he responded to this music festival-based enquiry.

3. The time he used an acronym to amplify his sass level.

4. His blunt reaction to Donald Trump getting elected.

5. The time he got mistaken for Nick Clegg.

6. The time he sassed the prime minister.

7. And the time he sent her this no-nonsense response to Trump's travel ban.

8. The time he turned his sass-light on Trump.

9. And again.

10. The time he sassed his former rival David Cameron, just for old time's sake.

11. His response to the UK's spring budget.

12. The time he perfectly summed up his feelings with yet another well-placed acronym.

13. The time he took his sarcasm game to the next level.

14. His reaction to George Osborne being made Editor of the Evening Standard.

15. His response to the Daily Mail's infamous "Legs-it" front page.

16. And finally, the gloriously unexpected interaction with James Blunt that followed it.

Never stop being sassy, Ed. It looks good on you.
