Ed Balls on his predictions…
“I said I didn’t think a double dip recession was the most likely outcome and that turned out to be more optimistic than the reality. I don’t think a triple-dip recession is the most likely outcome.”

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
Harold Macmillan says:
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
Are we really berating Balls for not predicting how bad Osborne’s plan is?
Did he do that really clever, wavy line thing with his hand as well ?
What about the odds on a quadruple dip Ed ? Taking bets now
He did not predict the utter ruination that the Blair/Brown Terror unleashed on this country either.
Its frighteneing that the opposition have such no hopers on their front bench,you have to wonder at the motivation of Labour grandees allowing the farce to continue.
ponsible for the appalling mess labour left this country in, I’d be keeping quiet….
