Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think Ed Balls did say “so what” during Cameron’s Budget response yesterday. Here’s the video, kindly supplied by Guido Fawkes:
Due to the poor quality and fact a mike isn’t switched on near him, you can’t make out what Ed Balls said, however in the reaction shot that the cameras do pick up, the childish childrens’ minister is clearly mouthing / saying “So weak”. He’s either extremely quick on his feet and lying to Hansard, or Hansard got it right.
All of this of course doesn’t excuse the relentless heckling that comes from both sides of the House during any major speech or PMQs and which Lynne Featherstone MP (who has to sit through the sorry spectacle every day) rightly labels “boorish”.
