The scandal and the superinjunction

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

The Afghan data leak – and the unprecedented superinjunction which followed – has dominated the week in Westminster. The FT’s Lucy Fisher – whose reporting has led coverage of the story – joins the podcast team to discuss who is to blame and what this episode tells us about how the state reacts when mistakes are made.   The story knocked Rachel Reeves off the front pages, but the chancellor has made a big speech this week. We’ll check in with what she had to say.   Plus: The government has just set out some new reforms on voter ID, electoral fraud and, most eye-catching of all, on lowering the voting age. The Inside Briefing team give their instant reaction.   Catherine Haddon presents. With Gemma Tetlow and Alex Thomas. Produced by Candice McKenzie. Learn more about your ad choices.
