 ====== Ed Balls' Talk ======
-Ed Balls came to UEA to give a talk on 17th of May 2017. There was a book signing session afterwards. Of course I had my book signed. Overall he's a lovely person. It makes me miss the New Labour. The New Labour was brought down by a series of small mistakes, and a few big mistakes. Anyway, I remember three stories Ed Balls told us quite poignantly. I decided to write them down before I forget them.

I know I moaned about them a lot while they were in power, but they really weren't that bad. The New Labour was brought down by a series of small mistakes (selling off the Gold Reserve), and a few big mistakes (Iraq War). Anyway, these are my three favourite stories from Ed Balls.
 ===== Near Death Experience with Gordon Brown =====
 So Ed Balls was with Gordon Brown in a Concorde flight back in 2002. The airplane suffered a compressor stall.

 I stood there mortified. I went back to the department and wrote a personal letter to every one of the children who’d appeared in the DVD, thanking them for what they had done and telling them that I had a stammer too, and that they had inspired me. And that was the moment I realised I had to be open about it.
