Summary
No, not Wagatha Christie; the hottest story of the week has of course been the Sue Gray report, and Christopher Hope gets the reaction from a fantastic collection of guests on this week's Chopper's Politics. Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt makes the short trip to the Red Lion pub to say that her party need to 'get on with it' to prove their worth post partygate, to talk about our first trade deal with a US state, and to indulge Chopper in a solid 3 minutes of national flagship discussion (you've been forewarned).
Also on the podcast, Environment Secretary George Eustice insists Boris Johnson will still lead his party and the country at the next election, and discusses food security during a cost of living crisis. Plus Chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, reveals the differences in the three Prime Minister's he's dealt with in his time as he becomes the longest standing head of the group of backbench Tory MPs. Oh, and how many letters of no confidence he's received lately...

| 0:26.3 | bar stall in the Red Lion pub during an explosive week, yes another one in Westminster. The pressure that has been building for |
| 0:35.9 | weeks and weeks finally broke into a summer storm with the delivery of a long-awaited |
| 0:41.8 | Sue Gray report, |
| 0:43.8 | meaning that politicians can longer rely |
