Summary

It's a 2-for-1 deal on Chopper's Politics guests, as both Michael Gove and Jake Berry join Christopher Hope live at the Conservative Party Conference.

After causing a stir on the broadcast rounds on Sunday morning, former Cabinet minister Michael Gove gave Prime Minister Liz Truss more headaches by calling for the decision to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax to be reversed, but denies the title of "rebel", claiming he's "just a backbencher".

Also on the podcast, new Conservative Party Chairman Jake Berry gives his view on whether Tory MPs should be given a free vote on the mini-Budget ("absolutely not!"), fracking, and how the Conservatives can attract younger voters.

All this and more, including well-timed heckling from the protestors outside the tent.
