I noho pōuri a Ed Balls mō te wā poto i tētahi pātai pāngarau taketake i tēnei rā i muri i tana kauhau ki Leeds. I tonoa ia ki te mahi i te whakarea i te Q&A i muri i tana whakapuaki i te marama kua hipa kei te whakawhirinaki tonu ia ki tana hungawai hei awhina i te pāngarau. I te wā o tētahi uiuinga i runga i Good Morning Britain, ka whakaae te kai-whakataetae atarangi o te Rōpū Kaimahi i te mea he harikoa ia i te kore i uiuia ia ki ngā pātai pāngarau i runga i te pouaka whakaata. Ka mea ia ki te kaihautu, ki a Susanna Reid: 'I koa ahau i te kore o koutou pātai pāngarau i ahau i tenei ata.' I te pātai ki a ia he pēhea tana mahi ki ngā hautanga, ka whakahoki a Mr Balls: 'Kei te waimarie he kaiako pāngarau taku hungawai, nō reira ko ia te tohunga ina tae mai ki te pāngarau.' I wawahi a Miss Reid: 'E kore e taea e koe te korero mai ki ahau e whakawhirinaki ana te kaikanikani atarangi ki tona hungawai ki te mahi i ana tatauranga.' Ka mea a Mr Balls: 'E whakaaro ana nga tamariki he tino pai te whaea-i-te-ture ki te whakaako pāngarau. Ka whakawhirinaki tonu koe ki to hungawai.<unk> I te pātai he aha te whitu ki te ono e ōrite ana, ka titiro iho te kaitirotiro atarangi a Labour ki ōna waewae, ā, ka kata āta, i mua i te whakautu tika i muri i te tekau hēkona o te tūnga. E toru ngā tamariki a Mr Balls me tana wahine, te minita o roto o Labour, a Yvette Cooper. Whai muri i tana mahi hei kaitohutohu ki a Gordon Brown i te Tari Taonga, i pootihia a Mr Balls hei mema mo te MP i te tau 2005 a ka noho hei kaikawe atarangi i te tau 2011. I mahi ia i mua i te Financial Times me te whakaako i te ohaoha i te Whare Wānanga o Harvard. I te marama o Hui-tanguru, i roto i te uiuinga i runga i te whakaaturanga parakuihi ITV, i whakama te Hekeretari Mātauranga a Nicky Morgan i tana kore whakautu he aha te 7x8.
I whiwhi te kaihautū atarangi a Labour i te whakautu tika i muri i te tekau hēkona whakamutua. Ka mea ia, he 'harakeke tonu te whakautu i aua momo pātai' Ka puta mai i muri i tana whakapuaki i tana kore hiahia ki te whakautu i nga pātai pāngarau i runga i te pouaka whakaata. I kii ia ki a Susanna Reid ko te roro pāngarau i roto i tona hapu ko tana hungawai.
