James O’Brien on Suella Braverman and why Shell is suing Greenpeace

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor-in-chief James Harding.

James O’Brien, LBC presenter and author of ‘How They Broke Britain’, joins the Tortoise team to discuss Suella Braverman’s attack on the police, a topsy-turvy week in US politics and Shell taking Greenpeace to court.

You can listen to a longer conversation between James O’Brien and James Harding about his book, the British media and its politics in a bonus episode, which will be released at 5pm on Friday.
