Vivien Allan - 10/27/2023
Very much enjoyed Political Currency. Good to hear anecdotes from the past and how they have connected to the future, especially in the decision of David Cameron to hold a referendum and Ed Milliband choosing the wrong chancellor at the time. Nice to hear politicians of differing parties getting together and giving their views. Hope to hear more in the future. of politician has declined somewhat to the days of my generation of Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher.
