Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapaehia a Ed Balls mo te 'tino whakahawea' ki te iwi i muri i tana whakahē i te tuhipoka mahi kino e whakaae ana kua pupuhi te roopu i nga tahua o te motu. I kii te kaiwawao atarangi ko te reta, i waihohia ki te Taonga e te Minita o mua o te Mahi a Liam Byrne i te tau 2010, he 'tuhipoka noa iho'. Ko te tuhipoka a Mr. Byrne ki tana kaiwhaiwhai hei Hekeretari o te Taonga, i kii: 'E te Hekeretari Matua, e mataku ana ahau kaore he moni. Ngā mihi aroha <unk> me te waimarie! Ko Liam.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He kino: I tukuna mai e Liam Byrne o Labour tēnei reta ā-ringa ki tana kaituku i mua i tana wehenga atu i te Tari Taonga i te tau 2010. Kua riro te nama hei tohu mo te kore kawenga tahua a Labour i te tari, a i whakamahia e David Cameron i roto i te tautohetohe a nga kaiarahi e whitu i mua o tenei marama. I te wā i riro te mana whakahaere i te tau 2010, neke atu i te £150 piriona te hekenga tahua, neke atu i te 10% o te rahi katoa o te ōhanga. Engari i tohe a Mr Ball kia kaua e whakaarohia te tuhipoka e whakaae ana kua pupuhi a Labour i nga tahua o te motu. I kii ia ki a BBC West Midlands: 'Ko te tuhipoka a Liam Byrne he tuhipoka tawai... he pono kaore i pau te moni.' I kii a Mr Balls ka whakaitihia e Labour te hekenga <unk> kei te rere tonu i te £90 piriona i te tau <unk> ia tau. I mea ia: 'Kāore he mea i roto i tā mātou kaupapa e hiahia ana ki te tono moni anō. Ki taku whakaaro i nga wa uaua, e hiahia ana te iwi ki tetahi kawanatanga e whakatau ana i nga whakataunga uaua, a ka whakapiki i nga moni, a koina ta maatau e korero tino marama ana i tenei ra. ' Engari i pātai ia mēnā he 'whakawhirinaki' a Labour, ā, ka taea te whakawhirinaki ki a ia mō te ōhanga. Ka mea a Mr Balls: 'Ki taku whakaaro e hiahia ana te iwi ki te mohio ki nga moni ka taapirihia. E mohio ana te iwi ehara i te whakapaunga moni a Labour i puta ai te raru pūtea o te ao <unk> ehara i te whakapaunga moni a Labour i runga i ngā kaiāwhina me ngā tākuta i kī ai te pēke haumi a Lehman Brothers i whakaraupatu i New York. 'Ko te tuhipoka a Liam Byrne he tuhipoka whakaari, i te mea kaore i pau te moni.' Ko Ed Balls, i whakaahuahia i Birmingham i tenei ra, i kii ko te reta, i waiho ki te Taonga Taonga e te Minita o mua o te Mahi a Liam Byrne i te tau 2010, he 'tino noa iho...
I waiho he reta ki te Tari Taonga e te Minita o mua a Liam Byrne i te tau 2010. Ka mea: 'E te Hekeretari Matua, e mataku ana au kaore he moni. Kia pai te haere. E kī ana a Balls he 'tuhipoka hākari' noa iho tērā e kore e tika kia tangohia i runga i te whakaaro nui. I whakapae ngā Tories i te ata nei i a ia i te whakahawea ki te iwi whānui
