Robert Jenrick, former Housing Secretary, joins Christopher Hope as Easter in the Jenrick household will have a few more guests this year. The MP for Newark has a Ukrainian family staying with his own, thought to be the first MP to take in refugees under the new Home Office scheme. 

He tells Chris that red tape has "tested the patience" of those trying to be hosts, and he insists that despite the Prime Minister being sanctioned for gatherings during lockdowns, the idea that he should resign is "for the birds". 

Also on the podcast: Martin Baxter, founder of pollster Electoral Calculus, reveals how the public is responding to partgate fines, and gives us a glimpse into his local elections crystal ball.

Plus the Telegraph's own Danielle Sheridan on swapping reporting on the corridors of power for the frontline, and the stories of hope she finds in a country at war.
