About this episode
Emily Dean and Sir Ed Davey discuss modern politics and personal influences during their walk.
In part two of Emily and Ray’s walk with Sir Ed Davey , the conversation turns to the state of modern politics, from the rise of populism to the challenges posed by figures like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage , and what Ed believes the future of British politics might look like. Away from the political arena, Emily also gets to know the man behind the headlines, discussing everything from his taste in music and comedy to the moments and influences that have shaped him away from Westminster. If you haven’t already, do catch up on part one. And if you'd like to learn more about Ed's story, his book Why I Care: And Why Care Matters is available now in paperback.
