 I thought 'RT Hon' was used during a person's tenure in office? What's meant by 'former' here, if you still have the title? 

I'm  sure you're a lovely bloke but  I've not bothered listening to the episode, mainly because of the Rt Hon title. It's supposed to represent respect and dignity in the UK - although every other person with the title here seems to be lacking. Infact - the absolute opposite.  
 Indeed. Seems very odd/misleading to be using that title.  
 No. Privy Council membership is for life. 

“Appointments are made by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister and are for life – there is no fixed number of Members. All Cabinet Members are appointed to the Privy Council, as are some senior members of the Royal Family, senior judges, two Archbishops, the Speaker of the House of Commons, leaders of Opposition parties, and leading Commonwealth spokesmen and judges. The Council now numbers over 700 members, and members are entitled to the prefix ‘Right Honourable.’”

You are welcome. And don’t mention it. I forgive you. 
 I was delighted to notice you had the decency to respond and try to educate me on a subject i knew nothing about and, don't plan to dig into it at all. I wanted the reaction. 

You clarified what I already knew. That you're all the same.

Who only values your position in society by title only.

And the reason why I will forever vote with my money.

You're nothing but an unelected beauracrat. 

And a pompous prick.🙂  
 Besmirching me on the basis of your own ignorance then doubling down when you owe an apology reflects badly on you. 
 This is Nostr. Not drowning street, fish.  
 In with honourable folks like Johnson, Gove and the former Arch Bishop of Canterbury lol. 
 As for not listening because I’m a Privy Councillor, 😂
