Reporting on the abuse of power

The journalists who exposed Tim Westwood and wrongdoing in Westminster.

Two stories about power – and how it can be abused. The first is the tale of an MP caught looking at porn in the House of Commons and what it might tell us about the culture of political reporting at Westminster. The other is the joint Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and The Guardian investigation intoΒ alleged sexual misconduct byΒ the DJ Tim Westwood. Also in the programme, the future of tech regulation in the UK.
