Ed Miliband has responded to his biggest fan on Twitter thanking her for her support.
The Labour leader has seen a marked increase in young people, especially women, asking for selfies while on the campaign trail. In the last couple of days that popularity has spread to Twitter where #milifandom has been trending.
One account has been credited as starting the campaign and now Mr Miliband has sent her his thanks.
@twcuddleston Hi Abby - Delighted that you’ve joined Labour, welcome.
@twcuddleston It’s good to hear young people who care about politics speaking up for the things they believe in.
@twcuddleston There’s a lot at stake at this election for young people. I hope more young people will join you & get involved. #VoteLabour
