Come to Guido’s “Ed Balls for Leader” Rally

The Labour Leadership campaign is looking a bit boring and to be honest a lot of you are pretty disappointed that Ed Balls is struggling so badly in his quest to lead the Labour Party.

So to liven things up a bit Guido is organising an “Ed Balls for Leader” rally in Westminster this afternoon.

The venue is 11 Tufton Street, Westminster at 3.45 pm this afternoon.

We’ll have posters ready for you to hold, and, errm, some bananas.

By strange coincidence David Miliband is also holding his third launch event at 11 Tufton Street at 4 pm.

We’ll be heading off to the Westminster Arms shortly after 4 pm…

      Ditto.

      We had to endure his ugly mug on the telly today, as he vainly tried to rubbish Gove’s splendid new policy on academies. It was a trult pitiful performance. He looked ‘so last year’ in his control freakery way, just so totally irrelevant.

            Even Francis Maude made him look a complete plonker last night and managed to associate him with Liebour lies, he really has got it coming. Even funnier was his wife sitting on the front bench in opposition looking as though she had been stuck in a wringer. Not a happy family, so missing Gordo.

      Poor Mili’s banana seems to suffer from brewers droop. Perhaps that is why he and his lady wife had to buy, er, I mean adopt – two children in the States. Look like a family man at any price!. Is Purnell managing his campaign? perhaps he should adopt, too.

    Guido, I will have to put in my apologies for this.

    My dilemma is that, whilst I acknowledge Balls will keep Labour unelectable for years, I cannot help but relish the prospect of Balls’ rejection by the PLP. A few short months ago he was within hours of becoming Chancellor and the obvious heir apparent to Gordon. Now he is just a “has been” (and not a very good one).

    Yvette’s diary
    Pt3.

    Ed was being really boorish tonight. He was late back from that bloody Morley town hall again, and we were having a dinner party. He goes to every meeting now, in case someone is plotting something. This one was about the reallocation of allotments from deceased holders. He reckoned he can get Labour supporters into them. “Every little vote helps ” he says. To him I suppose. My majority is 25,725. I couldn’t give a stuff!

    As he was so late I had everyone seated and began on starters. That little airport baggage car he was given by the union only does 40mph. When he came in Eds was furious. He roared “This is all wrong..not like this” and then sat and slurped his soup up and sat facing away from everyone.
    Terrible behaviour. He didn’t even try a sneaky peak at Caroline’s tits, which he normally salivates over.
    He shot up from the table and said he had some urgent campaign work to do on the laptop in his office… His office!Really! Its just the cellar with an upside Fortnum’s hamper as a stool and old nappy changer as a desk!

    I apologised to Jacqui and Richard and the others for his rude offish behaviour and said he was worried about not getting enough nominations. Jac’s would love to help but she isn’t even an MP anymore.
    Edddie bear still hadn’t come out from the cellar by 1am. It was only as I was tidying up that I noticed he had left his laptop on the coffee table…

    What is going on with him. He’s becoming so…so..so..unpleasantly familiar?

        “I’m cleavage deprived” he says.

    Old Bollox has a lot to learn about tactics.
    When you are as unpopular as he is, you don’t wait a few days and then declare yourself a candidate. You make sure you are first on the starting line, and then you corner the first 30 or 40 MPs you come across and bully them into backing you.

    The minute you give any of them a chance to say, oh if I’d only known you were standing, I wouldn’t have already signed up to Milli senior or junior or … er … Dianne Abbot (?!???) —— then the game is up.

    If I were you Eddie me old son, I would withdraw immediately and make noise from the back benches for a few years, there ain’t no hurry.

    With a name like Balls…I mean it makes you wonder does it not, why Yvette doesn’t use her married name …….and of course one thinks of the root of our surnames, Yvette, as a Cooper would have perhaps had forefathers who were barrel makers or ‘Coopers’, other common surnames indicate the profession or vocation of their ancestors. Smith (Blacksmith), Thatcher (early Roofer), Archer (Soldier, bowman), Straw (someone of no substance), Milliband (a musical ensemble of short stature), Kelly (Has anyone here seen….), Primarolo (a puritanical chocolate sweet), Burnham (a poor cook), Harman (from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Harm-man’), Abbot (a large fat priest) and so on….but ‘Balls’? Where did that name originate?
