Ed Balls and George Osborne, fresh from a break for the Inside the Room Series: The Election that Never Was, jump straight back in with a slew of questions. With George’s old mate and former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton jumping into the Governor’s race in California they counsel a stateside Republican voter (and Kitchen Cabinet member) on whether they think he’s a good choice.
They also mull data sources for parliamentarians. Are there rules on what’s fair game when crunching the numbers? Or can you cherry pick and choose as it suits? They turn philosophical: is there ever a point when politics and policy has totally served its purpose?
A listener who has been using the show to work up to GCSE studies asks: What’s the best way to get across the financial aspect of politics? The pair share their tips on the best ways to build a good political and economic understanding in today’s climate.
