Inside Story by Phillip Webster

Democratically yes.

How it all works from a lobby correspondent's viewpoint, the Yang of the Ying and Yang of government. (Politicians and media, just in case I haven't been clear).

He starts with May and Brexit, his astonishment at her culling of Cameron's cabinet, and the repercussions she will undoubtedly face.

Then he swings back to the start of his career - running to phone boxes to dictate copy in at the last moment.

A lot of his triumphs are minutiae. Who is the first media organisation to find out the date of the next Election? A huge triumph for whoever gets it. And the biggest triumph of all...the exclusive on John Major's affair with Edwina Currie. Years after he was PM. Salacious interest at best, yet the discovery and the fact checking documented here with breathless anticipation.

But apart from that, the way that politicians use the lobby to leak and spoil,  and to brief against their colleagues and the rules of confidentially, the codes of attribution - that's fascinating. And male. Golf trips, drinking trips, late nights, boozy lunches. The masculinity of it all is invisible to Phillip Webster, but not to me thinking "God I could never have done that with my child care responsibilities."
