In the latest episode of the Our World is Local podcast, former local government minister Sir Bob Neill talks about his political career, which began when he became a Havering LBC councillor 50 years ago. 

As he steps down after 18 years as MP for Bromley and Chislehurst, he talks about his time as a Brexit rebel, serving as a minister with the then secretary of state Lord Pickles, and his frustration with Boris Johnson's government.
