Summary
Rishi Sunak, former Chancellor and now Tory leadership hopeful, has a cup of tea and a doughnut with Christopher Hope at his campaign HQ. We've heard about his policies ad infinitum these last few weeks (feels like longer, doesn't it listeners), so while we do hear about tax and his childhood, he also tells Chopper how he's not paying too much attention to the polls, reveals his binge watch viewing habits and claims he doesn't mind being asked about his wealth.
Plus Chopper puts your questions to Rishi Sunak, from food security and 'selling his soul to the right of the party', to his Nando's order.
