Sir Ed Davey on care, the Coalition and taking the fight to the far right | Political Currency

Can Sir Ed Davey really take the fight to the right when it comes to the next election? In this special episode of Political Currency, Ed Balls interviews the Liberal Democrat leader - and his politician of the year from 2024.

In this wide-ranging interview, the two Eds talk about Ed Davey’s passion for care provision and his deeply personal connection to the issue. Ed Balls also asks Ed about his time in the Coalition government with George Osborne and they reflect on their shared school days - including time spent skiving. But will Ed Balls finally return the history notes he lost?

With Nigel Farage’s Reform rising up the ranks, Ed Balls asks Ed Davey if he would go into a coalition with Nigel Farage at the next general election.
