Daily: ED MILIBAND – “Big forces not bacon sandwiches decide elections”

<p>Former Labour leader <strong>Ed Miliband</strong> has reinvented himself since 2015 as a podcaster with his hit series <em>Reasons To Be Cheerful, </em>and re-entered frontbencher politics as Shadow Business Secretary. But he has big ideas. He talks to Dorian Lynskey about his new book <a href="https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Ed-Miliband/GO-BIG--How-To-Fix-Our-World/25774450" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Go Big: How To Fix Our World</em></a>, why the real issues that shape the future are bigger than Westminster, plus the “Preston Revolution”, the future roads that Labour should take…&nbsp;and his encyclopaedic knowledge of (wait for it) <em>Dallas</em>.&nbsp;</p><ul><li><em>“COVID showed that our institutions and the way our country is run is so at odds with who we are as a people.”</em></li><li><em>“As Labour leader you’re constantly thinking, is what I say going to blow up into a story? I think I was too cautious.”&nbsp;</em></li><li><em>“Brexit was a big idea. You can say it wasn’t the RIGHT idea. But people responded to it. People do want big change.”&nbsp;</em></li></ul><p><em>Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and</em> <em>Jelena Sofronijevic.
