He’s run the whole gauntlet—from bare-knuckle TV newsrooms to writing biographies of colourful grandees, and chasing Cabinet Ministers down Whitehall.</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Together, we explore how news got smarter (and sometimes not), why local papers are the canaries in the democratic coalmine, and how AI could blow it all apart.</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>With friends such as Robbie Gibb, what does Michael make of the latest BBC crisis? Are malign forces circling?</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>And as the biographer of Nigel Farage: why do voters like him, and why would governing by Reform—which already has form—be no laughing matter?</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Please do check out my latest book, A Dead Cat On Your Table – available online and in all good book shops.</strong></p><p><strong>@peteryork.bsky.social</strong></p>","author_name":"Good Egg Productions"}
