Westminster reacts to Ed Balls' departure from Strictly Come Dancing. Speaking to the Westminster Hour's Carolyn Quinn, the former Liberal Democrat MP and Business Secretary Vince Cable said: “He emerged as a really rather likeable character, which was not the stereotype that people had of him beforehand. I think that’s why people voted for him. He was perfectly humane, quite sensitive and entertaining." Labour MP Rachel Reeves, who served under Ed Balls as shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, said: "There’s certainly still a place for him in the political debate. It’s up to him to decide what his future is but it’s been great fun watching him in Strictly. I think the public have seen a side of him that they didn’t see before.”
