Unsurprisingly Miliband is already seeking to distance himself from Balls' nonsense and get Labour back on track with their message that only they will be tough on tax 'evoidance' by the rich despite doing precious little about it when they were in power for 13 years.

Ed Miliband has tried to neutralise the debate over whether people should get a written receipt for all transactions - even small £10 gardening jobs.
The issue has been hotly debated since Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls called for people to get such receipts because it was the "right thing to do".
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the suggestion was "absurd".
Quizzed on his attitude to tax, Mr Miliband said hedge funds were "more important than the hedge cutters".
"And I think that has been the clarity of view right across the shadow cabinet," he added.

Apart from Ed Balls, the Shadow Chancellor, that is... It's laughable really.
