The one-hundred and thirty eighth weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

This week's award is presented jointly to The Mail, Alastair Campbell and Tony Blair for combining to produce this line in today's Mail:

'Now, the latest volumes of Alastair Campbell’s diaries reveal that Mr Blair repeatedly told him that Mr Balls, now shadow Chancellor and then Mr Brown’s senior advisor, was a ‘highly disruptive influence’.

My cry of 'Ed Balls - a "highly disruptive influence" - "No Shit, Sherlock"' is only tempered by the fact that I usually take any statements made by Alastair Campbell and/or Tony Blair with more than a normal sized pinch of salt.
