'Why are you so lovely?' Ed Balls asked his wife, in ITV's hard hitting interview. The production crew audibly gasped at this brutal investigative line of questioning. The ex-Chancellor became increasingly rabid as he grilled Yvette Cooper (the current Home Secretary)with a follow up: 'Why do you smell of rose blossom and fart rainbows?'
With nationwide race riots, one would think you might want to ask the Home Secretary something more searching than, what do like about my hair? Oddly enough neither felt the need to mention that they had spent their careers attacking immigration. Instead they focused on the important topic of the day, where they should go on holiday.
Cooper felt some discomfort over the question as to whose turn was it to put out the bins? She repeatedly refused to answer where the TV remote was. Finally the tense interview finished with the Home Secretary storming off set to go home and make Ed Balls his tea.
