    Another reason not to trust Balls!

    Labour coup: Gordon Brown's cabal hatched plot in midst of terrorist crisis - Telegraph

    "On July 21, 2005, Tony Blair and his most senior government figures were locked in the struggle to stop a second wave of Islamic terrorists bombing London.

    But elsewhere in Westminster, Ed Balls, Ed Miliband and others were plotting the latest stage of their plan to remove the Prime Minister from office.

    A document dated to that day discloses that key tasks for the intensifying campaign had been devised by a small group of ultra-loyalists around Gordon Brown, underlining the team’s obsessive focus on their political interests while others were more concerned with the threat of terrorism.

    The plotting was to reach a frenetic pace in the following months, leading Mr Blair to begin 2006 with a memo to his inner circle warning that they were locked in a “poker game for very high stakes” over the future of Labour.

    The Prime Minister said that the growing campaign among Labour MPs, orchestrated by Mr Balls, to “jettison New Labour” was “ridiculous” when the brand had “so obviously won the political debate”.

    Mr Blair became increasingly aware of the concerted plot to move Mr Brown into his office, months after Labour’s historic third election win."

    My god, why is this man even in parliament?
    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

    If Blair had Balls he would have fired Brown.

      Was there ever any reason to trust him in the first place? Nothing surprises me with politicians. Not any more.
