.. Coffee House. Or so he said to Andrew Neil.
Pity he doest actually take on board some of the economic truths he is therefore exposed to and persists in what are frankly his out and out economic lies.
He did not get away with it when up against a sharp cookie like Neil though and Balls weakly changed tac and went through all kinds of convoluted lies and misinformation.
This man really was one of those who are guilty for the mess we are in tied in closely with Brown while he merrily trashed the economy over 13 disastrous years. Labour will never have any kind of economic credability with his in this role but then, from their track record, they do not deserve any such credability even with someone else.
Anyway - here is the Speccy take on it.
