Also on the podcast: former Trade Secretary Liam Fox tells us why entrepreneurs must be at the heart of economic recovery, and an entrepreneur himself, Phones 4U founder and philanthropist John Caudwell on why Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak ought to be locked in a room with a gaggle of businessmen, and whether his £500k Tory Party donation was money well spent...

Help thy neighbour

Danny Kruger MP, author of a government report into volunteering, joins Christopher Hope to discuss why he thinks Brexit and community spirit are intrinsically linked, and how the government lost the narrative around free school meals. Plus, he reveals why his voluntary work satisfies his inner nosy parker.

Also on the podcast: former spads Polly Mackenzie and James Starkie on why the PM's next chief of staff probably won't be the Svengali figure the press wants them to be, and writer and Thought for the Day regular, Rhidian Brook on why coronavirus has had the nation searching for words of wisdom.

The Class of 2019

One year ago, two new Conservative MPs gave Christopher Hope no-holds-barred accounts of their experiences of standing in the 2019 General Election. Twelve months later, Richard Holden, MP for North West Durham and Joy Morrissey, MP for Beaconsfield, return to the podcast - though sadly not to the Red Lion pub. As they reflect on their mad first year in the job, Joy tells us why 2020 has shown party loyalty isn't just about Brexit, Richard insists there's no 'buyer's remorse' from Blue Wall Tory voters in the north of England, and both our guests agree that being an MP ruins your social life.

And - listen to find out who refers to themselves as a "glorified bag carrier" and who was told off by the Speaker for calling Sir Keir Starmer "Goldilocks"...
