| Thursday 20 January 2011 at 10.30pm on BBC 2 Presented by Matt Frei Here's Matt Frei with details of tonight's programme: Westminster is aflutter with the unfolding story of the two Eds - Milliband and Balls. Can these former rivals make nice and reconcile what looked like economic differences? Is the party that was haunted and weakened for years by the tussle between Tony and Gordon setting itself up for the battle of the Eds? Many questions and we haven't even asked the most obvious one, whether the well-liked Alan Johnson was pushed for his lacklustre performance on the most important brief in British politics or whether he did in fact resign for personal reasons. The coalition government may relish the apparent confusion at the top of the Labour Party. They have already hammered the point that Ed Balls is son of Brown. He is intimately associated with the economic policies of the past. But he has enormous support within the Labour rank and file and, unlike the man he replaces, he DOES know how to do his numbers. So who should be more afraid of Ed? The other Ed or George? On Newsnight we will explore all the angles and implications. Do join me at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
