LONDON -- With less than a day to go until the elections, most of the papers have come out in support of one party or another.

The Sun, seemingly bereft of fresh ideas since May 2014, took an old photo of Ed Miliband eating a sandwich, which has been talked about during the election, for their front page.

It inspired people on Twitter to rally in solidarity with Ed, adopting a #JeSuisEd hashtag and posting selfies of themselves struggling with foodstuffs - mostly sandwiches - in support.
