    EMQs: Are personal insults fair in politics?

    Love is in the air on EMQs this Valentine’s Day, with podcast soulmates George Osborne and Ed Balls turning to questions of both hearts and minds. As Keir Starmer recently became the first sitting Prime Minister to take a public HIV test, Richard Angell, the Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust asks: Did Ed and George ever take a similar step while in leadership? They also consider whether UK politics could ever drop the inevitable personal attacks that are rolled out during an election campaign. And speaking of, was Ed Miliband dealt a bad hand in the 2015 election, or was the infamous bacon sandwich incident fair game? And, are the “gotcha” moments of politics and journalism a thing of the past? They look back on some memorable deer-in-the-headlights moments while doing the media rounds… Thank you for being a valued member of the POLITICAL CURRENCY GOLD 🏅 Our new, extra special subscription is now available.

    Can Kemi Badenoch get free of Nigel Farage?

    The Starmer government’s landmark Assisted Dying bill could be in danger of collapsing, with sponsor Kim Leadbeater now proposing major changes in the final moments. Will this signal the end once and for all? Ed Balls and George Osborne clash over how Keir Starmer should best proceed. Should he pull the bill entirely? Or is it time to press on?  Meanwhile, Kemi Badeoch is marking 100 days in what is arguably one of the worst jobs going in politics: Leading the opposition. She's working hard to hose down the idea of a pact with Nigel Farage and Reform that just keeps coming up. Why is she having such a hard time getting out from his shadow? And JD Vance (George’s mate, remember?) has made his first trip as Vice President across the Atlantic to join a global artificial intelligence summit in Paris. The US refused to sign the international AI declaration, and the UK followed suit - so what on earth has prompted the UK to abandon a cause that they got going in the first place?

    EMQs: Can we get young people back to work?

    This week, Ed Balls and George Osborne take on some of the most difficult challenges facing society today. With millions of people of working age not in a job - officially called economically inactive - the pair consider the current costs to society and how to fix them. Columnist for the Times and former MP Matthew Parris asks George directly: Didn’t he see this coming with the introduction of personal independence payments?  And the Office of Budget Responsibility is meant to be apolitical – but does the government of the day at least have a little sway on its forecast? And considering the size of public spending in the UK, is the Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, referred to as DOGE, even more relevant in this country? Plus, how can psychology play a greater role in politics and policy …  You could have been listening to this episode of EMQs early and ad-free!

    Will the Tories fall for Keir Starmers EU trap?

    Keir Starmer has been in Brussels this week, meeting with European Union leaders with the view to resetting the relationship with the bloc. George Osborne and Ed Balls ask, is it making good on a campaign promise? Is it to shore up UK-EU relations as President Donald Trump runs wild with tariffs? Or, is it a perfect opportunity to lay the perfect trap for the Conservatives …  Trump’s decision to slap tariffs on major US trading partners sent shock waves across the globe and sent the stockmarket into a tail spin. But he managed to outdo himself with his plans for Gaza, telling the world the US was taking it over. Ed and George look at how the first two weeks of this extraordinary Presidency is going, and how other world leaders are handling this new Trump era.  And plans for a football regulator has widespread political support - so why does the Premier League remain so hostile to the idea?

    EMQs: Should we want Donald Trump to succeed?

    This week Ed Balls and George Osborne look at what makes a smart, successful opposition party. Is disagreeing with everything the government of the day says the best way to do it? Or are there some judicious, selective compromises to be made? And who are the best examples of politicians who’ve made some well played, cross party agreements?  Amid global tumult, they consider the question: is democracy dead? What will happen if President Donald Trump’s policies are a roaring success? And the pair remember being interviewed by Andrew Neil. Was it an opportunity to relish, or one to avoid?  Plus, former Tory adviser Malcolm Gooderham phones in to ask: can the Office of Budget Responsibility keep to their growth forecast of 2 percent? And what would the fallout be if there were to be a downgrade? You could have been listening to this episode of EMQs early and ad-free!

    Can extremism amongst young men be stopped?

    In the wake of the horrific Southport attack, George Osborne and Ed Balls consider the parameters of the upcoming inquiry and the intensifying concern about young men engaging in acts of violence. Should the definition of extremism be changed with the so-called manosphere in mind? And do we need new rules for reporting on major crime for our social media age?  And the pair mull over Rachel Reeves speech outlining her plans for growth. George thoroughly approves of everything she is announcing, and thinks he couldn’t have said it better himself – except that time he did, 12 years ago! Is Reeves morphing into a conservative chancellor? Plus, Ed reflects on the funeral of Labour stalwart John Prescott, sharing some of the most moving, powerful moments of the service.  Become a member of POLITICAL CURRENCY GOLD 🏅 to support the podcast, enjoy ad-free listening to all our episodes and receive early access to EMQs.

    EMQs: Should David Beckham be knighted?

    A somewhat sporty one this episode, as in the wake of a Davos meet, George Osborne and Ed Balls consider: Why hasn’t David Beckham been knighted yet? Lady Posh Spice would just sound so good.  Meanwhile, Former Minister for Sport Tracey Crouch asks if there’s any way to keep politics out of sport under Trump’s presidency. With a World Cup and an Olympics games in the US this year, what will be at stake under the new administration? And, the pair slip into professor mode to break down a few lessons of the Chancellor.

    Trump's tech supremacy era begins?

    President Trump has had a big week, what with an inauguration and then signing a myriad of actions in his first days in office - never mind the move to US tech supremacy. After a big start, Ed Balls and George Osborne ask whether he can sustain the political honeymoon, or if this will be a very different Trump presidency, marred by the reality of being a populist President in office.  Meanwhile, like the rest of the global elite, George is in Davos, and he’s reporting back to Ed everything he’s heard about the outsider’s economic view of the UK. Will Rachel Reeves and Jonathan Reynolds’ upcoming announcements make any difference to the ‘glum’ outlook? And another closely-observed politician at Davos is Friedrich Merz, contender for the next Chancellor of Germany. As the AfD chases his CDU party, are we looking, as he claims, at the last free election in modern Germany?
