The relationship between the press and politicians is what is now under scrutiny at the Leveson Inquiry and the long-awaited testimony from Rupert and James Murdoch has unearthed a relationship that paints an uncomfortable picture for the government.

Following these latest revelations, hosted by BBC Radio 4’s Paddy O’Connell, we will be examining what we have heard and what the ramifications will be for politicians and the press.

We will be asking how much more will be unraveled and how far these relationships go. Will the release of this information lead to an end of cosy relationships between politicians, journalists and media proprietors?
