This week George Osborne and Ed Balls are taking questions in person, with a select few Kitchen Cabinet members joining the first ever live audience recording of the show. 

Is Fredreich Merz right to worry that the European Union will face a financial crisis thanks to government debt? Is AI data management the way forward for driving significant savings in both welfare and healthcare? And is Trumpian rhetoric having an adverse effect on centre-right campaigning? 

Plus, they turn their minds to an area of true expertise: how to manage life after a career in politics. How do you keep bitterness at bay and forge a new, meaningful career? Is a comparison to a retired top-level footballer too much? George doesn’t think so…
