Episode description

Matt sits down with MPs leaving Parliament at the next election to talk about their highs and lows, their best and worst bosses, and the lessons they've learned from their time in politics.


Today, outspoken Conservative MP Charles Walker - who famously said of his party "I've had enough of talentless people" - joins Matt to discuss nearly two decades in politics. He looks back on the Brexit wars, why he staged protest with a carton of milk, and explains why he's leaving the Commons.


Plus: Columnists Libby Purves and Rachel Sylvester discuss Keir Starmer watering down another pledge, whether being a backbencher is underrated and if Harold Macmillan should have a permanent statue.
