After training teachers and marking large quantities of undergraduate essays, I resurface! And it is with glee that I read Roland White’s speculation in this week’s Sunday Times that Ed Balls may be the next victim of the Portillo moment. According to White, Mike Smithson of Political Betting.com has ‘punted quite heavily at good odds that Balls will get ousted’ (at the general election).
How I long to be able to bawl ‘Oh bliss! Oh joy! Hasta la vista, baby!’
