EMQs: Media spin, middle classes and memories of conferences past
About this episode
Are eloquent middle class people hogging valuable public service resources? Ed Balls and George Osborne debate the case for co-payments to ease the burden. How can both Ed and George be correct on their analyses of the 2010 financial situation? And why do politicians continue to trot out their media spin lines when it’s clear to everyone that they’re not answering the question?
Plus, Ed and George share their favourite conference memories as party conferences get underway.
