Show Notes
We have a very special guest for the first episode of season two...drumroll please...we're speaking to Sir Ed Davey! He is the Liberal Democrat MP for Kingston and Surbiton, leader of the Liberal Democrats - and importantly for us - a carer and recent author of a book called ‘Why I care: And why care matters’.
Our wide ranging conversation covers his ongoing carer journey, what it has taught him, and the concept of radical honesty in politics.
We talk about why he doesn't like the term 'unpaid carer' and why he thinks a carer-centric strategy is crucial to improving the UK's National Health and Social Services.
You can find his book here and follow him on all his social channels below:
