Anarchy on Question Time

So what did George Osborne tell The Spectator? The words he used to James Forsyth became the centre of a Question Time bust up last night and one that had to be broken up by a Sex Pistol.
 
Let’s start with Ed Balls’ version. He told the Commons that Osborne impugned his integrity by accusing him of being personally involved in the Libor scandal. Untrue: Osborne had said that those around Brown were involved in Libor. Balls, he said, had questions to answer.  He drew a clear a distinction, and James made this clear in the piece. On Question Time, Alan Johnson tried to play the same trick. His bust-up with Spectator contributor Louise Mensch went as follows…
 
AJ: George Osborne told The Spectator, Louise, that Ed Balls was involved. People around Gordon Brown and Ed Balls he named specifically, in fixing those Libor rates.
LM: That is completely false…
AJ: I’m just saying what’s in The Spectator this week.
