Over 360 episodes, 8.2 million listens and one Red Lion Pub, welcome to the last edition of Choppers Politics Podcast.

Joining the Telegraph's legendary political journalist Chris Hope in Westminster's finest drinking hole is star of Spitting Image: Idiots Assemble, comedian Matt Forde, discussing comedy in a woke world as well as bringing some of his finest political impressions.

Two big beasts of the Tory party also join Chris, including Jacob Rees Mogg airing his concerns about the privileges committee and Sir Bernard Jenkin, as well as the prospect of A.I. shouldering the burden of social care. Plus, Michael Gove drops by to discuss, amongst other thing, resurrecting an old (nautical) project very close to Chris' heart.

And of course, how could we finish the show without long time friend of the podcast, the velvet-voiced Sir Geoffery Cox.

As Labour surge ahead in the polls, MP Rosie Duffield - sidelined by the leaders of her own party - joins Chris to discuss whether the party is ready for governing the country.

Plus, schools have been at the forefront of recent news with reports of students identifying as cats and wolves.
