While Ms May is no doubt delighted that she will no longer have to face this formidable political operator across the dispatch box, George Osborne will be less thrilled.

LardyBoy Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 How fitting that someone with his surname should become a Labour MP , seeing as its what himself and his fellow Labour MP`s speak most of the time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordChaverly Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Balls is a nasty piece of work and not half as bright as he thinks he is. The only difference between him and Alan Johnson in terms of their understanding of economics is that Johnson knew nothing about the subject and virtually admitted it, whereas Balls thinks he understands it but doesn't. I look forward to him blinking his way through expositions of 'post-neoclassical endogenous growth theory' in parliament. There could hardly be a better example of jargon camouflaging ignorance and stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about "Labour's economic policy is now totally Balls". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
