Summary
<p>California Governor hopeful Steve Hilton has a question for Ed Balls and George Osborne this week: which American state would they choose to live in, and would they rather be a senator or a governor? A trip down fantasy lane has the pair questioning the best path to political glory, based on previous presidents’ CVs. Ed Balls for 2032? Seems… far fetched.</p><br /><p>Back in the real world, the pair debate whether cutting Employer National Insurance Contributions could help get people back into work - and whether Trump’s approach to tariffs has, unintentionally, made him a little bit green.</p><br /><p>Plus, they reflect on their time facing PMQs in Parliament - and what was really driving their biggest moments at the despatch box.</p><br /><p>Some exciting news from us! We’re doing our first Political Currency live show - we’ll be taking to the stage on Thursday 5th June 2025 at SXSW London.
