Ed Balls has gone to ground after his BBC interview surfaced from January undermining Labour’s big policy announcement on non-doms.
So far his disappointing deputies Chris Leslie and Shabana Mahmood have been deployed to clean up his mess on the airwaves. With a limited degree of success.
Mr S can reveal that this is no accident. According to telly sources, the shadow chancellor is currently refusing media bids from Sky News, Channel 4 News and Newsnight.
Surely he won’t be able to hide behind Leslie and Mahmood all day?
