Old fogeys and new deals

David Davis makes his grand return to the podcast this week, and that means only one thing... Brexit is back on the agenda. The former Brexit Secretary tells Christopher Hope why the wheeling and dealing over post-Brexit trade is only just getting started, and why he'd lie in a wet ditch over fish... Listen for full enlightenment. Plus self-declared old fogey and vice chair of the 1922 committee, Sir Charles Walker, scolds his Westminster colleagues for demonising young people wanting to party, and the Telegraph's own Liam Halligan gives us the inside line on how Number 10 chose the PM's new Press Secretary.   For 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/chopper | Listen to The Trump Card: https://www.playpodca.st/trump | Listen to Planet Normal: https://www.playpodca.st/planetnormal | Email: chopperspolitics@telegraph.co.uk | Twitter: @chopperspodcast | See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Om Podcasten

The Telegraph's weekly politics podcast, presented by Christopher "Chopper" Hope. The podcast has interviews with top politicians and commentators and analysis from the Telegraph’s Westminster team. Chopper's Politics is a must listen for those who want to understand British politics, delving into various aspects of policy, key players, and the internal movements of Westminster’s political parties. With a focus on the Conservative Party (Tories), the podcast examines the party’s policies, strategies, and ideologies. The podcast offers insights into prominent figures within the party, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson.With a keen eye on the ever-evolving political landscape, the podcast explores the impact of the Red Wall - the traditionally Labour-supporting areas in the North of England that shifted allegiance to the Conservatives in recent elections - and the dynamics between the Conservatives and the Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer.In addition to Conservative and Labour politics, the podcast delves into the dynamics of other political parties like the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party providing analysis and discussions on their policies and strategies. The podcast widens its scope to include discussions on the political climate in London, with a particular focus on the leadership of Mayor Sadiq Khan. It delves into the intricacies of Westminster, the seat of British political power, and examines the notion of the Westminster Bubble, where decisions and discussions can sometimes appear disconnected from the realities of the wider population.With a strong emphasis on policy analysis, "Chopper's Politics" provides a platform for informed conversations surrounding British elections and their implications on topics such as geopolitics, foreign policy, international relations, and the evolving role of the United Kingdom in the global arena.
