Balls and Ed Miliband have both suggested this before. But Balls's comments today are probably the most explict yet about Labour's unwillingness to work with Clegg.? Balls implied that he thinks the eurozone crisis will get much worse.It is a very,

It is existential ... when it happens there will probably be a crisis moment that puts things into deep freeze, making it hard to trade and hard to finance ... the impact on growth and jobs is really dangerous.What does he mean by "when it happens"? As I read that penultimate sentence, he seems to be talking about a full-blown European banking collapse.
"It belies the classic media narrative that the people who suffer the most are the people in the middle", he said.? He said education reform would do more than anything else to promote growth.The best way to improve income equality in Britain is to give more lower income people the chance of a decent job and a decent education.
