Twas the strike before Christmas... on this week's festive edition of Choppers' Politics: Frances O'Grady gives her final interview as the General Secretary of the TUC, discussing strikes and the current gridlock between union leaders and the government. Robert Halfon MP, previously an outspoken and campaigning backbencher, swings by the Red Lion pub to explain how now, as a Minister of State in the Department of Education, he's taking that spirit and applying it to students affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. He's also, unusually, a member of a trade union. Plus, Sir Geoffrey Cox KC pops by to talk about a ghost of his Christmas past: second jobs for MPs. He also treats us to a tradition on the podcast, a reading from A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas.
