Boris Johnson quits Parliament - and signs with The Daily Mail.

With Boris Johnson’s current parliamentary career over, we’re asking what The Daily Mail hopes to get in return for the rumoured million pounds it’s paying for his new column. Meanwhile, the Telegraph is up for sale. What power and influence does the right-wing media hold in the UK?

Also in the programme, as The Guardian bans gambling advertising, Clive Tyldesley, one of the most recognisable voices in football joins us to explain why he's stepping down from commentating on talkSPORT over the betting industry’s role in the sport. 

Guests: Alice Enders, Tim Montgomerie, Susie Boniface, Joey D’Urso, Clive Tyldesley

Presenter: Katie Razzall

Producer: Simon Richardson
