Ros Atkins saves you reading 60 pages with this brilliant Sue Gray report explainer
The Sue Gray report is 60 pages long, and while many journalists and members of the public have read it from cover to cover, it’s only part of the story.
Outside Source presenter, Ros Atkins, has joined forces with Mary Fuller and Michael Cox to produce an explainer that sets the scene, tells the tale and includes some of the aftermath.
Strap yourself in – it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
