Christopher Hope escapes the Red Lion to join Conservative Party Co-Chair Oliver Dowden for a tea and salt beef sandwich in his constituency. The former Culture Secretary claims that he wants to see 'genuine diversity' in the new Tory candidates list - and why he doesn't see that goal as 'woke'. Plus he'll put his foot down on raising taxes, and takes Chris on a trip to his childhood home.
Also on the podcast: Lesia Vasylenko on what she's pitching to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as part of a small group of Ukrainian MPs in London.
