Ed Balls' jibe at David Cameron backfires
AFTER cracking an off-colour joke at the expense of David Cameron, Ed Balls was unrepentant last night.
The Shadow Chancellor recalled unflattering photographs of the Prime Minister changing into swimming trunks during his summer holiday.
Smirking to delegates, Mr Balls quipped: “I just thought for a Prime Minister it was a surprisingly small towel.”
One audience member appeared distinctly unamused and a thin smile disappeared from the lips of Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper – Mr Balls’s wife.
But Mr Balls said later: “Harriet Harman said to me ‘fabulous joke. If only I’d thought of it’.”
