Pretty much everyone in Britain will recognise the name Ed Balls, but if you're based elsewhere you may not have heard of him.

In a nutshell, Balls is a British politician who was a Labour MP for 10 years. He also served as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2011-2015, before he lost his seat in the last general election.

Like most politicians you wouldn't exactly have called him a popular figure during his time in Parliament, but since he's left politics things have changed.

In 2016 he starred in the BBC's much-loved dance show Strictly Come Dancing, which led to many, many moments like this:

Since then, Balls' popularity has basically skyrocketed.

That's great, but why is there an #EdBallsDay?

It all started with what may be one of the greatest tweets from any politician (or, indeed, anyone), ever:

On the now-legendary day of 28 April 2011, Ed Balls tweeted his own name. Apparently he was busy shopping in ASDA at the time and wanted to run a search on himself. Clearly he mistook the "Tweet" box for the search bar.

Although Balls couldn't have predicted it back then, it was a moment destined to send ripples across the internet and eventually become one of British Twitter's favourite in-jokes.

The evolution of "Ed Balls Day"

Although the original tweet generated a bunch of retweets, memes and jokes at the time, the tradition of "Ed Balls Day" didn't get properly started until 2013.

In the run-up to the tweet's two-year anniversary, a Facebook event encouraging people to retweet the original received the support of thousands.

The rest is pretty much history. A Google News Archive Search of April 2013 shows just how many mentions of "Ed Balls Day" there were that year:

So what does Ed Balls think about all this?

Since 2013, Balls has marked every single Ed Balls Day anniversary with a tweet. You can pretty much chart his journey from confusion, through to acceptance, and then finally on to what is clearly a barely-concealed love of the tradition:
