And is it right to rebut critical press reports so strenuously?  Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, chairs an expert panel including: Alastair Campbell, Director of Communications and Strategy to Tony Blair Sir Craig Oliver, Director of Politics and Communications to David Cameron Camilla Tominey, Associate Editor, the Daily Telegraph   Audio production by Alex Rees See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
