Well it looks like I have a new boss! Ed Balls is now in charge of schools in England. I actually quite like Ed Balls, I fought him at the last General Election and always find him to be most polite and quite funny. Certainly he was much friendlier than the local Labour Party in Brigg and Goole whose reign of nastiness towards me personally continues unabashed.


I do remember doing one hustings with him where it was he and I on one side of the room and a stand in for the Lib Dem candidate (who never appeared anywhere, even at the count!), the BNP candidate and some random bizarre Independent on the other side. I found Ed's under his breath comments most amusing. He certainly came across better in person then he does on TV or radio. Now I've been nice about him will teachers get a pay rise I wonder!
