EMQs: Media spin, middle classes and memories of conferences past
Sep 16, 2024
In a lively discussion, Ed Balls, a seasoned politician and former government minister, teams up with George Osborne, a prominent former Chancellor of the Exchequer. They tackle whether eloquent middle-class voices dominate public resources and the validity of co-payments in the NHS. The duo debates their differing perspectives on the 2010 financial crisis. They also share light-hearted tales from political conferences, and dissect how politicians often sidestep tough questions with media spin. A blend of nostalgia and sharp political insight!
