It's like watching a particularly repugnant camel spider attack one of the more venomous and dangerous snakes.

Fascinating, but at the same time makes your skin crawl - you just want to use a flame-thrower to make the whole horrible spectacle disappear.

I am sure there will be similar ones for Milliband.

I doubt it will be a surprise to anyone.

Nope but it sure is nice to watch.

Ed Balls says he's never been involved in trying to undermine colleagues....what a cock he is.

[JMGS4]

Just shows how repugnant Ed Balls is, as is the chief gurner Ed Minigland, and all Labour MPs.
Should all be caned by the head for bad manners, sent to Coventry and only allowed back into civilised society when they've done 15 years of community service, picking up rubbish and collecting bins.

I wonder what was about to come out or will come out about the Conservatives? The timing of these things is rarely a coincindence.

Lieing is the default setting for Balls when he opens his mouth.

Apparently, the stupid bd left the papers in his desk drawer at the Department of Education.

I think he may keep a low profile for a week or two. (he always does whenever the news about the economy doesn't suit his agenda, so he definitely will now)

He learned that from Winky.

Evidently you missed his foot in mouth this week then?

He was criticising the fact that Blackstone had milked Southern Cross (the struggling care homes provider) for all it was worth before IPO and then someone realised or opinted out that the ability for them to do so was facilitated by policy that he (and collagues) implemented when labour were in power.

Labour and the economy, it's like leaving handicapped kids in charge of a sweet shop.

I think you are missing the point. This will still be going on now, as his long term goal is to get the top job. Which is why he is always doing the TV and radio interviews and having all the sound bites, being close to Ed Milliband is good for him, as everyone knows Ed Milliband is going to go eventually.

<facepalm> I see what you mean - sorry for being obtuse.

(BTW I do try not to judge people by appearances, but Balls has a face and demeanour that cry out for a good slapping. In this case, instincts appear to serve well.)

An excellent description of the vipers nest, consisting of Balls, Mandelson, B-liar, Smith, Cooper, Brown, lesser and major millipedo, Alexander, Harriet harpy, ginger Midget Blears, moneygrab Mc Nulty, slimy Khan etc, hypocrite Abbot etc. etc. etc. the list just goes on. These may be labour, but the list is just a long whether the chosen colour is red, yellow or blue.

Possibly, but this bunch of muppets (apologies to the Muppets) was supposed to be running the country at the time.

Fixed for you, due to swear filter.

[Zod]

Ah diddums, Balls wants an inquiry into how the papers got leaked.

[Mojocvh]

Oh, so they are true then.

[elster]

It seems Balls isn't looking too popular at the moment, there goes his hopes for taking over from Milliband.
