Huw Edwards, PR speak and runaway horses

David and Simon discuss the handling of Huw Edwards' resignation, the art of the PR euphemism, and how the Army dealt with the Household Cavalry rampage through central London.

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the resignation of Huw Edwards and how the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ has handled this ongoing crisis – its PR, its strategy and the enduring power of the tabloids in this country to throw an incendiary device into famous places.

They also lift the lid on the art of euphemistic spin and how the language of PR was used in the Post Office IT Horizon scandal - or should we say β€œanomaly”?

And, runaway horses - how the Army responded to the surreal and shocking Household Cavalry rampage through central London and why you’ll now find a significant number of former Army officers in PR.
