Matt Chorley sits down with MPs leaving Parliament at the next election to talk about their highs and lows, their best and worst bosses, and the lessons they've learned from politics. Former Conservative minister Steve Brine tells Matt that the threats and abuse MPs face is getting worse, what happened when Labour mocked the Tories with a bus after the 2001 election, and why he thinks Liz Truss should keep quiet.


Plus: Libby Purves and Rachel Sylvester talk about The Times' Health Commission inquiry into the crisis facing the health and social care system, whether children should have access to social media, and a new documentary about Rishi Sunak
