While George Osborne is away “stirring the pot” (this time with JD Vance),Ed Balls is joined by author and columnist Sarah Vine for a powerfully candid conversation about her explosive memoir, How Not to Be a Political Wife.
Sarah gives the unfiltered story of her marriage and divorce from Michael Gove, revealing how the "toxic culture" of Westminster shattered friendships with the Camerons, took a toll on her mental health, and why she considered Dominic Cummings the true "third person" in her marriage.
Plus, Ed and George pull back the curtain on one of Westminster’s most mysterious institutions: the Whips' Office. Forget the myths of blackmailers and dark arts; the pair explain what whips really do, what the "usual channels" are, and share the incredible theory of how one fateful appointment in 2014 may have inadvertently changed the course of British history and led to Brexit.
