Political eyes.

I watched the Andrew Marr show this morning and was intrigued to watch the body language of Ed Balls. In the final section of the show he was staring in a very unusual (not very friendly) way at David Aaronovitch, the Times columnist. I watched again on i player to see if I had imagined it, but no, Ed Balls seems to go into a trance.

Ed Balls retained this gaze at Aaronovitch for some time.

There may have been some 'history' between the journalist and the politician - nothing new there. However, Ed Balls' message can get lost in his presentational mannerisms: he would not be the first politician to suffer this fate.
