George Osborne and Ed Balls read out a "misleading" advert for the controversial ticket resale website Viagogo during an episode of their podcast, the advertising regulator has ruled.

- Rob Davies

The former Tory chancellor and his former parliamentary opponent, who put aside their past rivalry at the dispatch box to launch a podcast in 2023, espoused the benefits of the "secondary" ticketing site during an episode broadcast in April last year.

Balls, a former Labour shadow chancellor, told listeners that "over half the events listed on Viagogo had tickets selling below face value".
