4:30Now PlayingDoes the Tory party's dodgy donor shine a light on a potential racism problem in the party?
The Conservatives have had a tough week after comments made by major party donor Frank Hester about Diane Abbott in 2019 were published by The Guardian. After an initial party line labelling the comments as 'wrong', Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch broke ranks to tweet that the comments were, in fact, racist. And all in the same week that the party released their new definition of extremism...
So how did the Conservatives get into this position? Ed and George talk about how Downing Street should have addressed the controversy.

On the Political Currency podcast, Ed Balls and George Osborne take us behind closed doors into the rooms where decisions are made. Having battled it out across the despatch box, the former Chancellor and shadow chancellor now meet in the studio to discuss the decisions that affect the nation’s pockets. Our frenemies have the knowledge and experience to explain how good politics follows the economics, and expose how the powerful become powerless when faced with market forces and political currents they can’t control.
New episodes available every Thursday. Our bonus Q&A episode - 'EMQs' - drops on Mondays.
