What we learnt from the Covid inquiry and what’s been happening at Bletchley Park?

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

He’s joined by Katy Searle, who was executive editor of BBC Politics, and Tortoise editors Chloe Hadjimatheou and Jeevan Vasagar. They discuss what’s been happening at the Covid inquiry, Israel’s response to the Hamas attack and what, if anything, Rishi Sunak achieved at his AI summit.
