🤨 Ed Balls Defends Russell Brand: “I Would Happily Interview Him.”
On @gmb this morning, Susanna Reid and Ed Balls discussed Brand’s infamous interview with Ed Miliband. Susanna was critical of Balls back on 29 April 2015, when he was Shadow Chancellor, for defending it, even though Brand had personally attacked him just months earlier.
On Channel 4’s Big Fat Anniversary Quiz in early January 2015, Brand called Balls a “clicky-wristed snidey c***”.
Here’s that 2015 interview. Susanna presses him about going ahead with it despite knowing what Brand was. She asks if he knew about it, he did. She asks if, when he was told about it, he thought it was a good idea, he did. Kate Garraway then asks if he himself would do an interview with Brand.
That’s when he said: “I would happily go and do an interview with Russell Brand. The truth is that we need to kiss and make up after what happened a month or two ago.”
I hope they didn’t!😱🤣
Fair play to Susanna Reid. No Monday morning quarterbacking from her. She knew then and said so then. Well done @susannareid100.
@GMB what a rude nasty little man Ed Balls is Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he actually allowed the teacher to reply to his questions. Is it because she is female?
I always wondered why back then the warriors stuck with horses and not some other big animal that could just flip on you mid fight. horses don’t really do that. they stay with you, they read the situation, they don’t panic and dump you for no reason.
watching them move around humans like this makes it obvious they’re actually thinking. small adjustments, watching you, figuring out what you want without you spelling it out. I paused it twice because one of them clearly understood the person was about to do something and just waited.
my brain kept going “yeah that’s why.” random but I almost went and looked up old war horse stuff after this. anyway I’m still watching the same part over and over.
"Keep out of mischief" Judge Ian Lawrie tells the 14 year old boy who chased down and stabbed a girl 10 times because she didn't want to date him.
Then gives him a curfew (which he broke the first night) instead of jail. That poor girl. UK justice is bonkers.
