"They're terrified of the whips," says Rachel Cunliffe - while Andrew Marr argues they're more scared of "their tiny majorities".

From a “fresher’s fair” with free sweets to the struggles of finding a place to live, joining parliament is a lot like starting at University - but with the fate of the country in your hands.

Andrew Marr and Rachel Cunliffe have been speaking to the new intake of MPs and join Hannah Barnes to answer a listener question on what life is like for new Members of Parliament.

They also answer your questions on how long Labour will be able to “do the unpopular things”.
