Labour officials discovered on Wednesday that their party spent £8,000 on Ed Miliband's failed PR stunt just before the 2015 general election.

The infamous EdStone didn't do much for Labour's electoral prospects, so that got us thinking - what could they have spent that money on?

Things Labour Could've Bought With The EdStone Money (LIST)
A Freddo for everyone in the Orkney and Shetland constituency(01 of05)

Labour could've taken this Lib Dem-held constituency if they'd only spent the £8,000 of EdStone money on a Freddo for all 32,181 of the electorate on the Scottish Islands. Shame.
8,000 extra votes(02 of05)

According to The Mirror, each vote in the UK costs a political party an average of £1. With that many votes, Douglas Alexander, Ed Balls and Andy Sawford could've kept their seats.
1,600 "controls on immigration" mugs(03 of05)

The Labour Party were roundly mocked for this mug bearing one of Ed's policy pledges - but they could've given away 2,000 for the price of the EdStone.
5,333 vests for Jeremy Corbyn(04 of05)

The new Labour leader could have been persuaded out of running if the Labour Party had only popped to his favourite underwear shop in Nag's Head Market and spent the £8,000 on 5,333 of Corbyn's trademark £1.50 vests.
2,500 bacon sandwiches(05 of05)

If only they'd spent the EdStone money on some practice sandwiches, Miliband wouldn't have looked so silly when he was pictured distorting his face with a bacon sarnie in 2014.
