News Meeting: Was COP28 a success and why do politicians lie?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise deputy editor Giles Whittell.

In this episode he’s joined by political editor Cat Neilan, climate editor Jeevan Vasagar and Rob Burley, former editor of the BBC’s political programmes and The Andrew Marr show. The team unpacks the historic agreement on fossil fuels, a stagnating UK economy and Rishi Sunak’s premiership to date.
