Description
It’s the most auspicious day of the year: Ed Balls Day. To celebrate, George has got his Ed Balls mask out (not a euphemism), and is ready to go Inside the Room. Just kidding. But he has in fact organised some questions from Ed’s nearest and not-so dearest.  Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves asks about Ed’s favourite Gregg’s order. Bandmate and Political Journalist Robert Peston wants to know why regulation of public services has gone so badly wrong, and Ed’s successor in his Morley and Outwood seat, Andrea Jenkyns, wonders if he regrets Labour’s gold sale.  Plus, the icon that is Delia Smith asks about their shared passion: Norwich City Football Club. Not that that will stop Ed and George discussing their favourite Delia recipes.  Head to our social media platforms to see how Ed celebrated Ed Balls day this year @polcurrency  Producer: Rosie Stopher Production support: Ellen Morgan Technical Producer: Will Gibson Smith and Oliver Geraghty  Executive Producers: Dino Sofos and Ellie Clifford Political Currency is a Persephonica Production and is part of the Acast Creator Network.
