The political consequences of the affair Johnson are quite profound.
Ed Panda Death-Stare finds himself short of a shadow Chancellor, the lamentably ill-briefed Alan, and faced with a distinctly unwelcome choice - between Balls and a hard place, so to speak.
Predictably, not least to those responsible for this honeytrap op, Ed has had to uplift both his Balls (one of whom is called, a trifle confusingly for those unfamiliar with the dramatis personae, Cooper), thus enabling the Tories to align Ed with Brown, and Balls with both of them.
Was it the Met's intention to Balls up the Labour front-bench in the service of the Tories?
Or are there high powers yet at work here? Balls was putty in the hands of the City; and is much more closely aligned with the Obama approach to deficit spending.
So many questions, and too many Balls.

"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
