Mark is joined by journalist and author Brian Reade, along with Elliot Steel, as he tries to make sense of Nadhim Zahawi's tax arrangements, the gender recognition row – and whether or not the Tories are finished!

Plus there's Fred Trueman on banning cakes from the workplace - and Lieutenant Colonel Sir Ambrose Chislehurst-Chandelier with another remarkable revelation about Her Late Majesty.
