This week, the Labour leader gave the keynote address at his party's final conference before the general election, setting out the party's vision.
The rest of the shadow cabinet also delivered addresses about policies related to their focal areas, and Miliband was often present on stage, clapping, and nodding along.
But sometimes his mind wandered.
Now a video has emerged that shows Miliband is still pretty much the kid we all once were, sneakily eating Skittles at the back of the class. Here he is, fiddling for something in his pocket while Ed Balls is speaking.
Miliband shows his experience when he attempts to sneak whatever it is into his mouth.
BuzzFeed News cannot confirm what he was eating.
People want answers. What was he eating?
@tnewtondunn @tombradby @JoeWatts_ @JoeMurphyLondon What do we think? Murray mint? Cough sweet? Or rhubard & custard?
What *did* Ed Miliband have in his pocket? Perhaps the only question you'll ask watching this... via @chrisshipitv http://t.co/odPDcu3nUa …
Either way...
