His lips are moving

Just listened to Ed Balls on Andrew Marr say he has never used the phrase 'failing schools'

Valiant effort by Andrew, but other in this minute online follow-up can we actually have confirmed whether a major political leader did or did not say something and, if so, either knows it and lied or... mis-spoke... again.

'I will close up to 270 failing schools to improve standards, says minister'


Otherwise these interviews are rather meaningless, serving only to let interviewees spout guff.
