As the Prime Minister faces scrutiny for having holiday plans amidst nationwide rioting, former frontline politicians Ed Balls and George Osborne are busy deciding what to pack for their upcoming trips. “I’ve got these leopard skin boxers which I love wearing. They’re not leopard skin they’re just leopard skin patterned they’re just cotton,” former Labour man Balls said on Political Currency, the podcast he co-hosts with Osborne.
“And I’ve also got this blue collarless shirt which has now got some holes in it which dates back to holidays from before our oldest child was born and she’s now 25,” the ex-minister continued. “I hate shaving so you don’t shave for a while and I tend to sport a goatee just for a day or two and the goatee with the leopard skin boxers and the holey shirt without a collar it’s a great look I tell you,” he continued. His family, including wife Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, are less keen on Balls’ holiday attire. “I get banned from going out in public,” he revealed.
