Political Editors Assemble

We’ve assembled the political editors from ITV, Sky and the BBC to reveal what’s been going on behind the scenes at the Labour and the Conservatives party conferences.

Robert Peston, Beth Rigby and Chris Mason have the inside track on what ministers and backbenchers are saying about their leaders, the changes they’ve seen in Liz Truss since she became prime minister and why they think MPs find it more fun to be a rebel than toe the party line.

This episode of Newscast is presented by the BBC’s political editor Chris Mason, political correspondent Alex Forsyth, and Scotland editor James Cook.

It was made by Chris Flynn and Danny Wittenberg. The assistant editor was Alison Gee. The editor was Jonathan Aspinwall.
