Ed Ballses Up Brillo Interview
Under pressure from Brillo earlier, Balls coughed that he believed “the cuts are deeper than they need to be” for the CSR. Meanwhile spinners were pushing the line that Labour will stick to spending cuts if elected in 2015. Which was even on the rather unfortunate ticker scrolling along the bottom of the screen while Balls was speaking. So these cuts are too deep but Labour will stick to them, eh?
Here is the video:
Order of the OTT: LabourList’s Tiny Violin
Mark Ferguson of LabourList well and truly earned his union keep with hisresponse to today’s Spending Round. Choking back the tears as he whined about Osborne’s “nasty, vicious, small politics”, Ferguson launched into a tour de force of hyperbolic, hand-wringing rhetoric well worthy of the Order of the OTT:
Imagine what he’d be like if spending was actually going down…“But it’s fine, because we can all marvel at hilarious jokes about how fatty Eric Pickles is an example of lean government, as people starve and are driven to charity by this heartless, vindictive and mean little man. Ed Balls, in response,was excellent – far better than last autumn – lambasting and lampooning the Chancellor. And I’d love to write about how good that felt, watching him whomp this ignorant fool about the chamber.
But if I did I’d be lying. Because I couldn’t stop thinking about those people. And that hunger. And those lost jobs. And those presentless Christmases. And those queues growing outside payday lenders and food banks. And I just felt f***ing sick.”
Ed Balls Explains Latest Weird Hand Gesture
While pretending to be a sick as a dog at all the mean spending cuts, Ed Balls let the mask slip on Sky News earlier. Look at little Chris Leslie’s face, lovingly admiring his clever boss.
It’s all a game…
