Ed Balls should resign ‘for the good of Labour’

Liberal Conspiracy have posted an extract from an open letter by the historian Anthony Seldon, which calls on Ed Balls, to resign as Shadow Chancellor.

 

“Without you, Labour could present itself as a clean party, free of the factionalism and brutalism that so tarnished it when Brown was boss and you were his consigliere…”

This rather ignores the the closeness of the Ed Miliband/Gordon Brown relationship…

Gordon had more than one henchman.
