Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Ed Balls, tika, kua korerotia e hoa e kore ia e whakaaro e mahue Ed Miliband, e taea te Pirimia. Kua kōrero a Ed Balls ki ōna hoa, kāore a Ed Miliband i te rite ki te mahi, ā, kāore anō hoki ia kia "whakanuia" ki roto i te kaiārahi mai i tōna taenga mai ki te 2010, e ai ki tētahi pukapuka ārahi tautoko i te mahi i te pō nei. I roto i tētahi kōtaha o te Kaiwhakahaere o te Kaitiaki, i kī te maheni New Statesman kāore a Mr Balls i te whakapono kei a Mr Miliband ngā tohu hei ārahi i tana rōpū. I kii tetahi MP Labour ki te maheni i whakawhirinaki a Mr Balls ki a ia i te whakataetae rangatira o Labour i te tau 2010 ko ia anake me David Miliband te mea tika ki te kawe i te kaiarahi, e kii ana: "E rua nga taangata kei runga i tenei mahi" Ko David Miliband tetahi, ko au tetahi. " I kii te MP kua whakaaro a Mr Balls inaianei ko te kaiarahi o nga mahi "kaore i tipu" mai i tana wikitoria, me te kii kei te pouri ia mo te kore o Mr Miliband ki te hono atu ki nga kaitono. Ko te whakataunga whakamataku ka whakapiki i te kore whakawhirinaki i waenga i nga tangata e rua, e pai ana ki nga huarahi rereke mo nga take maha, tae atu ki te huarahi a te roopu ki nga pakihi, te kaha o te taunga rererangi me nga utu akoranga o te whare wananga. Ko Mr Balls te tikanga e whakaahuatia ana ko te "tuatoru o nga whiringa" a Mr Miliband mo te tūranga o te Kaiwhakahaere Whakaahua, i muri i te whakakore a David Miliband me te wehenga o Alan Johnson. Engari e kī ana te kōtaha ko ia te kōwhiringa tuawhā, me te wahine a Mr Balls, a Yvette Cooper, i whakakore hoki i te tūranga. Inanahi i kii ia kaore a Mr Miliband i whakamana i tana mahi mena ka wikitoria a Labour i te mana i te marama o Mei. Ka mea ia: <unk>Ko au te Kaiwhakahaere o te Kaunihera, ā, kei te mahi tahi mātau i runga i ā mātau mahere, ehara i te mea mō te pōtitanga anake, engari mō te kāwanatanga. Kāore au i whai i taua kōrerorero, ā, kāore hoki au i te whai ki te whai. Ko ia te kaiārahi; ko ana kōwhiringa ēnei. Kāore au e whakaahua i a au anō hei tangata rawakore. I tohu hoki a Mr Balls ka tautoko ia i tana wahine, te minita o roto o te atarangi, mo te kaiarahi mena ka ngaro te pooti mahi. I tohe tonu ia e hiahia ana ia kia wikitoria a Mr Miliband, engari i kii ia mo Miss Cooper: "He kaitōrangapū tino pūmanawa a Yvette, he tangata tino motuhake hoki, ā, ahakoa he aha tana e hiahia ana ki te mahi i roto i te ora, e whakapono ana ahau...
