James Heale of The Spectator on party conferences and diary reporting
Description
On this episode of The Political Press Box, I speak to James Heale, Political Correspondent at The Spectator. The interview was recorded just days before The Spectator was snapped up by hedge fund tycoon and GB News investor Sir Paul Marshall for a reported £100m. Andrew Neil, the Chairman of the publication, subsequently stood down from the outlet. James, meanwhile, remains in post and is planning to traverse the UK, attending the post-general election party conferences.
We discuss his plan of attack for conference season, his time as a reporter and why he decided to co-write a biography of Liz Truss, Out of the Blue: The Inside Story of The Unexpected Rise and Rapid Fall of Liz Truss.
Produced and hosted by Ian Silvera, editor of the Tech, Power & Media newsletter.
