Carolyn Quinn discusses the new Covid restrictions and the implications of the virulent new strain of the virus with the Conservative former minister, Tim Loughton; the Labour leader in the House of Lords, Baroness Angela Smith; and Polly Mackenzie - chief executive of the think tank Demos. They're  joined by The Spectator's deputy political editor, Katy Balls. The programme also includes an interview with Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, on the prospects for the Brexit trade talks. And the Speaker's Chaplain, the Reverend Tricia Hillas, shares reflections on her role and the challenges of the past year with the Westminster Hour's Gary Connor.
