Also on the podcast, Ipsos' Kelly Beaver with some exclusive polling for Chopper's Politics on tax, including whether Chancellor Rishi Sunak needs to worry about his popularity.
Plus, former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell on his objections to offshore processing of asylum seekers, and how he's by far the only Conservative with that view.
