Other than Ed Balls, the biggest 'Portillo moment' which I can remember since 1997 (and which hasn't been mentioned) is probably the then-leader of Scottish Labour Jim Murphy losing his East Renfrewshire seat to the SNP in 2015. Perhaps not unexpected (although I remember the debate being whether enough of the large Conservative vote would switch to keep the Nats out) but definitely a capstone to Labour's total wipeout at the hands of the SNP in one of the most middle class and anti-independence seats in the west of Scotland.
