'Operation Red Meat'

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?

And amidst all this, what does the new 麻豆官网首页入口 licence fee deal mean for the industry?

With 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, and Phil Riley, chief executive of Boom Radio.
