questions

Michael Gove asks a question at 18:45 in the video here. The exchange continues for about five minutes. Compare and contrast his tone with the increasingly irate tone of the reply from Ed Balls.

What do you see in that exchange? An increasingly irate and aggressive government minister who is under pressure, a smug shadow minister who believes his counterpart is on the ropes, or both of those things? Both men seem to be convinced that their stance over the report into the incident is the correct course of action but their style of delivery is worlds apart.

I'm not sure which is more sinister. The shouty style that Balls adopts or the almost hypnotic voice of Gove.
