Unreal

These are the people we entrust to run the country?  I've seen better behaved kids in junior school.

Cameraman said that he finds Ed Balls "the most annoying man in modern politics", after an outburst in the Commons where he said he wished the shadow chancellor would "occasionally shut up".

Labour immediately accused the Prime Minister of losing his cool under pressure.

The exchange came at the end of a 30-minute session of Prime Minister's Questions, in which Balls allegedly kept up a stream of low-level heckling.  As Cameraman fielded questions, the shadow chancellor was said to have pointed his finger and jeered: "You're not briefed. You're not briefed."

After a question that Labour thought the PM had sidestepped, Balls called out: "Why don't you just say 'I'll write to you' if you don't know the answer?"

Eventually Cameraman snapped: "I wish the shadow chancellor would occasionally shut up and listen to the argument."

Labour leader Ed Miliband led a chorus of Labour "oohs" at the comment, while the Prime Minister carried on: "I may be alone in finding him the most annoying person in modern politics."

An excited Miliband turned with a grin to congratulate Balls and laughed at the Prime Minister, who coolly warned him: "I've got a feeling that one day the Leader of the Opposition will agree with me."

Pathetic.
