Of course, the BBC (being the Labour party mouthpiece it is) has done its best to cover them up - but they are absolutely lethal for the Labour party.

They show how in the midst of the 7/7 aftermath, Balls, Red Ed and other Brownite henchmen plotted to overthrow Labour's three-time election winner Tony Blair.

longfingernails, lethal? really???

'Newsflash: in 2005 the Blairites and the Brownites didn't get on. After Blair had signaled his intention to step down, and made himself deeply unpopular with the Iraq war, the Brownites were impatient for change...etc'

Hardly earth shattering is it? The Telegraph look a bit desperate if you ask me.
Aren't there more important things to think about like the destruction of the NHS?

The latest memo discussed in The Telegraph.

BBC News at 10 and Newsnight have covered Balls memos with accompanying (very convenient) footage of Balls falling over whilst playing cricket today.

The Guardian is also mentioning it - but they have their own scoop. The 'unused' David Miliband leader speech.
