Ed Balls: SNP deal is question for after election

Meanwhile Ed Balls is being quizzed on the possibility of the deal, which he doesn’t rule out.

He said: “We will have to wait and see what the election result is going to be. We are fighting very hard for a Labour majority.”

At the weekend Angela Eagle, the shadow leader of the Commons said that she was open to speaking to parties like the SNP if Labour failed to get a majority.
