Ed Miliband's new role and UK cross-party social care talks
A podcast reveals Ed Miliband's thoughts on his new job and the Foreign Office team, while cross-party talks on social care begin without key opposition leaders.
In the Politico Europe podcast "Politics at Sam and Anne's," the hosts discuss the latest UK political developments. Anne shares what she has heard about the new top team at the Foreign Office. Ed Miliband reveals what his grandfather would have said about his new job.
The main focus is on the prime minister's cross-party talks aimed at fixing Britain's social care system, one of the country's biggest challenges. However, invitations were only sent out on Tuesday, and several key figures will not be attending in person.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is sending the shadow health secretary in her place. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey will join by Zoom. Nigel Farage and the Green Party's Zack Polanski were not invited.
Sam and Anne discuss what the meeting could achieve given the limited attendance and differing positions of the parties involved.
