Summary

How do politicians keep fit? Rishi Sunak spends his holidays going to Taylor Swift-themed spin classes; Keir Starmer prefers to kick around a football. Former health minister Lord Bethell and Tanni Grey-Thompson, Paralympian and crossbench peer, tell Patrick Maguire how to stay healthy in Westminster.

Plus: Columnists India Knight and James Marriott discuss Labour's cautious approach to Lee Anderson, youthful cynicism and whether impressions are a dying art form.
