What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think should lead the news to Tortoise’s editor James Harding.

In this episode the team are joined by journalist and historian Sathnam Sanghera to discuss whether the intrigue surrounding the edited photo of the Princess of Wales is newsworthy.

He also explains why the Church of England’s decision to pay reparations for its links to slavery has implications for a host of other national institutions and they look at the row brewing over the government’s new extremism definition.
