The Times' current Political Editor Steven Swinford has been in the job for a turbulent three years, straddling three prime ministers and at least 42 ministerial resignations. He tells Matt about covering partygate, Tories squaring up to each other, a serene Liz Truss as her premiership exploded, and sacking the chancellor via tweet.

The Political Editors is half a century of politics told by the people who wrote the first draft of history for the Times.

Plus: Columnists Alice Thomson and Robert Crampton on whether Britain is still a Christian country, Alice changing her mind about Britain's strictest headteacher, and building the perfect shed.
