Ed Balls

I'm a very loyal person and I allowed myself to be defined as somebody who was doing Gordon's bidding. I should have fought back harder to define myself at an earlier stage.

The thing about politics is to plan 10 years ahead, and assume every year is your last.

I don't think I've ever sent a text to Gordon Brown because I'm confident that he would absolutely have no idea how to receive it. He barely managed to master WordPerfect 4.1.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
