Listen now
Description
Another week, another scandal surrounding the Conservatives. But this time of the honey trapping variety. Ed and George discuss the dating app scam that has ensnared at least one MP.  Meanwhile, Labour is having a difficult time stamping out persistent claims the party’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner dodged tax on a house sale. George says if she stumbles, all the Conservatives want to see her fall. He predicts there will be more to come.  And David Cameron is back on the world stage, meeting with US presidential candidate Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida this week.

Ed wonders, though, what Joe Biden would think of the former PM giving airtime and legitimacy to Trump …  Become a member of POLITICAL CURRENCY GOLD 🏅 to support the podcast, enjoy ad-free listening to all our episodes, receive early access to EMQs and Inside The Room, and to live show tickets.  Try for free: patreon.com/PoliticalCurrency or on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/politicalcurrency Producer: Rosie Stopher Technical Producer: Will Gibson Smith Production Support: Miriam Hall Executive Producers: Dino Sofos and Ellie Clifford Political Currency is a Persephonica Production and is part of the Acast Creator Network Subscribe now on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
