In the news

Shockingly bad news. Balls would stab his wife in the back, and sell his Gran if it served his best interests. Can't stomach him - nor can the wider public. Ideal for the Tories, this. Bad for the rest of us.

Nobody can stand him. His own party loathe the ground he walks on. The thing is, he's got a small army of evil lackies in Whitehall who are eager to do his bidding.
He can make life very uncomfortable for anyone who gets in his way.

And who is now Shadow Home Secretary now that Ed Balls has become Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Yvette Cooper.
Ed Ball's wife.

Labour will not be getting my vote while either of these odious reptiles are in the shadow cabinet.
