Yvette Balls has written a typically smarmy piece for The Guardian on "Why I'm not standing for Labour leader - this time".
Forget her generalisations about women and children. They're irrelevant.
The fact is that Yvette Balls accomplished next to nothing as a minister. She rose almost without trace.
And what traces she did leave have rightly vanished in the coalition's first few days. It was Yvette Balls who wouldn't pay compensation to Equitable Life policyholders despite the ombudsman's findings of maladministration. Policy reversed.
It was also Yvette Balls who brought in the pointless Home Information Packs. When accused of doing more than EU regulation required, she said she would never apologise for 'greenplating'. Policy reversed.
Yvette Balls probably parroted 'Because it's the right thing to do' more than the rest of the government put together.
This uniquely annoying woman has no political achievements to her name. If she were a man, she would be a political non-entity. If she was any other woman, she might have been over-promoted as far as junior ministerial level.
She got where she did because she was Mrs Balls.
And she was no good.
