Balls loses his way

Great opening to Balls's Guardian interview
I have arranged to go to Swindon with Ed Balls on the first excursion in his four-month Labour leadership campaign. There is just one problem. He has gone to Euston instead of Paddington. When he arrives, half an hour late, he apologises, explaining that he's having some difficulty adjusting to life without a ministerial car and half-a-dozen staff explaining where he needs to be. "I suppose you have your intro – 'Ex-minister doesn't have a clue where he is.'" Yes, I do, thank you. "Oh well, that's life."
