The Thought Police

Mike and Matt return with a look at what might happen next week as the people prepare to head to the polls to decide the next Prime Minister. They discuss the shoddy state of politics in the UK and why there are so few decent candidates to vote for, while Matt  shares the details of working on an ultimately doomed project which the pair speculate could offer a hint to the future for the latest entrant into the world of sports journalism. It's the Thought Police!

Matt Kelly and Mike Graham are back for another sparkling edition of the Thought Police and today it's all about the changing landscape of local and national journalism. From months spent gathering information inside the walls of Buckingham Palace to days grinding away in the newsroom office, the times they are a-changing. The pair share their experiences of engaging with the community to win their trust and look ahead to possibly bleaker, darker times where the journalist becomes more foe than friend. It's a fascinating look from the inside out, so sit back, relax and enjoy...

There are three weeks to go until the election and it's reaching... who knows what conclusion? Mike Graham and Matt Kelly try to make sense of it all in their usual blockbusting manner while also discussing what makes successful journalism and why the Daily Mail's controversial political position was brilliant if not always favourable thanks to their highly skilled yet polarising former editor...
