Et tu Ed?

An incredible story in The News of The World, apparently:
"GORDON Brown's closest ally Ed Balls is hatching a sensational plot to get rid of the Prime Minister, the News of the World can reveal.

The Schools Secretary has stunned Labour MPs by confiding that unless the polls show a miraculous recovery HE will tell Mr Brown he must quit.

Backbenchers were shocked to hear Brown's most trusted henchman, thought to be completely loyal, say he is prepared to oust the PM at Labour's annual conference in September. "
And Ed Balls is meant to be a loyal close friend of Gordon Brown...

Elsewhere in the NOTW's article is this quotation:
"One Labour MP told us: "The people around Brown-like Balls-are incredibly loyal to him. But their first loyalty is to the Labour party. "
Am I alone in thinking that it would be nice if the people around Gordon Brown and Ed Balls were loyal first to the Country rather than the Labour party, but I suppose that is too much to hope for; nice to have it acknowledged in print though...

Assuming Balls would reluctantly be proposing himself as glorious leader, I would suggest he's delusional if he thinks that would improve Labour's election chances.
