Natalie Fleet

Natalie has only been an MP since July but has already established herself as one of the most impressive members of the new intake.

She has had to overcome a lot to become an MP and talks passionately about how hard it is to succeed if you're working class in modern Britain.

This is gripping from start to finish.

David Yelland

This is a gripping inside account of editing The Sun when tabloids were still dominant.

David tried to take the paper in a different direction. But did Rupert Murdoch approve?

Plus, does Elon Musk's use of X have its roots in tabloid culture and influence?
