"He was ambushed by a cake," said Conor Burns MP earlier this week, when asked about Boris Johnson's apparent birthday gathering in 2020: the PM's latest Partygate woe. But on this week's Chopper's Politics the Northern Ireland Minister joins Christopher Hope and makes a stunning revelation - there was no cake at all! He gives an impassioned defence of the PM, and tells listeners why he should stay as the top dog in Downing Street (with the greatest of respect to Dilyn, of course).

Also on the podcast: Sir John Redwood, MP for Wokingham and former head of Thatcher's policy unit, tells us why it’s time for the Prime Minister to take a leaf out of the Iron Lady's book, and the Telegraph's Nataliya Vasilyeva and Lucy Fisher break down the simmering tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and the implications for the UK.
