We Won't Jump Into Bed Until You Lose Your Balls

As befits a party of principled pragmatism, the Deputy Conservatives are already writing the next coalition agreement, for use when Labour comes begging their help in throwing together a government. As befits a party of vision and statesmanship, the Deputy Conservatives' first condition is not the fixing of the economy or the rescue of the NHS, but the purging of Ed Balls. "Whatever the public perception, George Osborne is a fairly straightforward person to deal with, more so even than David Cameron," according to some anonymous senior figure. Of course, swivel-eyed ideologues generally are fairly straightforward people to deal with, as are pompous bullies and overgrown schoolboys. Nevertheless, the Deputy Conservatives evidently feel that our wonderful journey into a new political stranglehold should have more to do with personalities and less to do with policies; which is quite understandable in a party which has so few policies remaining to it. As befits the Deputy Conservative leadership, the anonymous senior figure also made an unflattering comparison of Balls to Gordon Brown, a senior figure in the Labour party who was notorious for using anonymous press briefings against people he didn't like.
