Reconstituted rotten egg would have been more appropriate with Ed now cosying up to the odious, New Labour, neo-con, armchair Terminator and Bush rent boy, Blair, who Rentoul describes as, "merely the finest peace-time prime minister of the democratic age" (Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Yugoslavia and Sierra Leone, in Rentoul's homoerotic blind spot for Blair, were 'merely' minor skirmishes I suppose).

An egg on the shoulder of an expensive suit is the least of Ed’s worries. Ed and the party really do need to knock on the door of industry and talk to those that dwell within. Because without industry we can’t afford a large public sector and afford their lavish pensions.
