The Emily Maitlis interview

The News Agents' Emily Maitlis joins Hannah White to discuss the media's role in holding politicians to account.

Leaving the BBC has given Emily Maitlis the freedom to say what she really thinks, and the co-host of The News Agents podcast doesn’t hold back in this special edition of Inside Briefing. 

In a wide-ranging and frank discussion with Hannah White, the former Newsnight presenter discusses the media’s role in holding politicians to account, the recent travails of her former employer, and whether government ministers should really be taking part in broadcast interviews conducted by MPs of the same party.
