I think this comes under the heading of 'Do you want to bet?'

The BBC report that:

'Ed Miliband says there will be no change in Labour's economic policy, after Ed Balls replaced Alan Johnson as shadow chancellor.'

Hmmm, that seems unlikely. Does anyone else think that Ed Milibnad is going to regret the appointment of Ed Balls as his shadow chancellor for a long time to come?  Any immediate attack-dog value is going to be overshadowed by the lines of attack opened up for the Conservatives re the Labour shadow cabinet's culpability for economic failure.
