Ed Balls "goes to the mattresses"

Wonderful piece from Paul Waugh in the Evening Standard about Ed Balls giving David Miliband a 'mafiosi-style' warning if he tries to take on Gordon Brown for the leadership of the Labour Party.

"I’ve known him (Miliband) for very many years and I know that he is a sensible, rational, sane politician; and a good guy and I don't think that he would ever do anything so crazy, destructive, and divisive and that is why I am totally confident that's not what he was doing".

As Waugh says, it sounds like "You mess with me, you mess with my family."

Perhaps Miliband will just say "so what"?

Watch My Lips, Balls - "It's The Economy, Stupid!"

Interesting comment on the Sky News - Boulton & Co blog about the puerile and very revealing behaviour of Ed Balls, that sad NuLabour wannabee.

A chap called Trevor said "as someone who has for years been 40% deaf in both ears and long inclined to subconsciously lip-read, I can absolutely assure the world that Balls said "So what?", and that there is no way that he said any of the alternative comments hastily invented and offered. The lip movement for "weak" and "what" are totally different. In one case ("weak") the lips spread sideways, in the other ("what") they move downwards, so the pathetic attempt to change the facts of what he said simply won't wash."

Hopefully, Balls will soon regret his ill-advised heckle of David Cameron after his abysmal party are voted into the oblivion they deserve. (Oh, I feel better after that!)

Would sir like to try the Goat's Balls?

Good article in the Guardian by Martin Kettle here which shows why Brown's GOATs (government of all the talents) is, well, er..... a load of balls.

I have posted previously that, fundamentally, Brown's Labour is a busted flush that has run out of ideas and is now casting around desperately to find anything remotely useful to do for the next two years.

In the meantime, we are going to have to put up with these clowns struggling to be even half-way competent in doing what we pay them to do - run the country. Don't it make you feel good?

And the latest YouGov poll continues to show Labour behind the Conservatives with Brown's personal rating now in negative figures.
