Do You Really Know Ed Balls?

Do you know your local MP? What do you really know about Ed Balls?

The Right Honourable Edward Balls was educated at a five-hundred-year-old elite school for boys where fees run to £10,000 a year. Like many privileged public school boys he went to Oxford University where he joined an exclusive drinking society and partied his time away dressed in Nazi uniform.

Did you know as an MP Ed Balls and his wife both claim for the same mortgage? Did you know they 'flipped' their home three times? That means they cashed in on three homes with your money so they could get a London house in a good school catchment area.

Its value? £650,000. Of your money.

It's always one rule for us, and another rule for them.

Did you know that Ed Balls tried to claim £33 for poppy wreaths on expenses? He's happy to serve in a Cabinet that sends men and women off to die but won't even fork out his own money to pay tribute to them.

Did you know that Ed Balls lives in a privileged world far from his constituents? He makes £140,000 a year from the taxpayer. And in 2001, he was given an extra £89,000 from Gordon's charity, The Smith Institute, a think tank reprimanded by the charities commission for being politically biased.

Do you know Ed Balls? You do now.
