What happens when politics clashes with family life? Ed Balls and George Osborne take on big questions this week, starting with Michael Gove’s ex-wife, Sarah Vine, who asks whether David Cameron should have stayed on after Brexit. Her daughter Beatrice wants to know if Ed and George would still choose a political career, given its toll on family and friends.The pair also hear from an anonymous listener fighting for answers about the Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash, and discuss why the documents have been sealed for a century and what that means for the families seeking the truth.Plus, a listener challenges the logic of ring-fencing certain government department in the Spending Review. And fellow podcaster Jimmy McCloughlin asks how AI is really shaking up the economy, and what Ed and George have been using it for lately.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet: 👉 patreon.com/politicalcurrency👉 Apple PodcastsPlease note: Kitchen Cabinet is only available via PatreonProducer: Miriam HallSenior Producer: Silvia MarescaVideo Editor: Oliver Geraghty Executive Producer: Ellie CliffordPolitical Currency is a Persephonica Production and is part of the Acast Creator Network.
