Description
Award-winning journalist and former Daily Telegraph chief political commentator Peter Oborne joins Bradford Literature Festival to discuss his powerful new book examining Britain’s response to the war in Gaza.
Drawing on original reporting and decades spent at the heart of British political and media life, Oborne explores questions of accountability, public truth, protest and the relationship between power and journalism.
Reflecting on the role of politicians, institutions and the media during one of the defining international crises of our time, this timely conversation asks what happens when public trust breaks down and who is held accountable when it does.
