Ed Balls Factor - Labour Party

Daily Mail: Reports a new edition of a book on the time of Gordon Brown in 10 Downing Street, in the new edition the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls is accused of sexing up Government forecasts and to allow budget busting spending. These revelations will not go down well at the Labour Party Conference staring this weekend, Mr Balls hardly has a great reputation due to his time as the right hand man of Gordon Brown, as one of his Shadow Cabinet colleagues stated if it was not him spinning and being the Brown enforce then it was his Evil twin brother. To be fair to Mr Balls ( one tries ) he did say sorry for the Labour economic record, but he still following the same record, that the Coalition are pushing to much cuts, and that Labour would have cuts but not as extreme as the Coalition, but when the Shadow Cabinet is asked which cuts they would do, they say its up to the Government. No wonder Labour is not trusted with the economy. One has to wonder will the Labour leader Ed Miliband really want to keep Ed Balls as Shadow Chancellor for the next five years, it can be argued that he represents the failure of the last Government.
