And so – predictably – Ed Balls defends Brown against the allegations made by Frank Field yesterday. Or, rather, he sticks the boot into Field, hoping that amounts to the same thing. Here’s what he had to say:
“I think people took [Field’s] views [about the 10p tax row] at face value. They thought that to negotiate with him was the right thing to do…
…I think people could look at what he was saying a few weeks ago and believe at that time that his intentions were honourable…
…As for what he said this morning I think I leave you to draw your own conclusions from that…
We have all known Frank for many years, and I think he used to work on his own when he was in opposition.
