Ed Balls - what's not to like?

Well actually a few things. Balls was at the Treasury when PFI was taken off the balance sheet, thus masking the eye-watering level of public debt. Balls was there when the  banking regulation that so spectacularly failed was put in place. When we achieved the biggest deficit in peacetime history, Balls was there. Balls was Brown's homunculus. Balls screwed money out of the Smith Institute, a fake charity set up to fund the Labour Party. Balls and his wife flipped homes three times and charged a poppy wreath to expenses.

But most of all, Balls has starey, piggy little eyes and a Third Reich hair cut. My dislike of Balls is visceral. Some are already calling him the de facto leader of the Labour Party. He is certainly the true face of Labour.
