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.

Geoffrey Cox is a subtle commentator with supreme delivery; if not invited for that, he could always read poems and speeches that have shaped the UK.
Arguably, the best political podcast available today.

I found Chopper during the height of the pandemic (when it was still called Chopper’s Brexit) and have never looked back. The level of conversation, exploration of issues, erudition of the host and guests is remarkable. Christopher Hope is a gentle, but determined, interviewer, never allowing his guest to avoid the question or issue at hand. It is a show which establishes the why and how politics can be both engaging and informative. If I could find anything like this in the US, I would be a happy man indeed. Keep up the great work!

Yes the term is considered an insult in some circles and a compliment in others. Depends on how you choose to write history! Cheers from the USA!
Great Podcast

Listening to it since it was “Chopper’s Brexit Podcast” as a reliable source to get me up to speed with all matters Brexit. Now I follow Chopper’s Politics and it is just as relevant as before. A common sense approach to the issues of the day. Recommended
