Summary
It's a brand new episode! Woohoo! And what a way to come back...
Lee Anderson's rise has been meteoric. Just a few years ago he was a local Labour councillor and now he's one of the most recognisable stars of the Tory Party with his own TV show.
He's led a fascinating life. A coal miner for 10 years, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 36. Both had a profound effect on him.
This is an in-depth interview with a fascinating politician who's captivated the Tories in a way very few are able to.
