Summary
Political debate is running at a quieter pace after the breakneck speeds of the last few weeks, so here at Chopper's Politics we're serving you some red meat topics of discussion this week.
Ed Miliband joins Christopher Hope to discuss the importance of COP and why climate change isn't just a Left issue. Plus the former Labour leader gives his advice to Liz Truss on how to handle no longer having the top job, and reveals which reality TV shows have tried to court him, following the revelation that Matt Hancock is appearing on this year's I'm a Celebrity.
Also on the podcast, Kent MP Craig Mackinlay discusses his fears that the Tories could lose 'dozens of seats' at the next election unless the migrant crisis is solved, and Professor Robert Tombs on why he believes Project Fear has risen again.
