"Operation Red Meat"
Boris Johnson's supposed fightback strategy and a new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ licence fee deal.
The Prime Minister is under intense scrutiny, with political journalists reporting on backbencher unrest and a fiery PMQs. But is there really a government media strategy called "Operation Red Meat", using headline-grabbing policies to distract the media? Should we worry about the apparent cosy relationship between those in government setting these policies – and those in Fleet Street reporting on them? And amidst all this - what does the new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ licence fee deal mean for the industry?
Guests: Helen Lewis, staff writer at The Atlantic; Laura Hughes, political commentator at the Financial Times; Joey Jones, former spokesman for Theresa May, and former Deputy Political Editor at Sky News; Phil Riley, Chief Executive of Boom Radio.
Studio engineer: Donald MacDonald
