Journalists didn’t set out to become clients of power – they just slipped into it.

Half-truths, soft questions, and silence bought with access.

Peter Thurlow reports

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

This isn't for local power generation in East Anglia, it's for people living in London.

Costings show that over time, burying the cables is the same as pylons.

Aside from the environmental benefits of burying the cables, it means no outages during big storms, which adds to operating costs.

The government says public ownership will bring a simpler, more accountable railway.

Greater Anglia will be a test case - can an already successful network be improved?

After years of record punctuality and investment, Greater Anglia becomes a publicly owned railway this weekend, joining C2C, an Essex network already renationalised.

A quiet but historic shift for East Anglia.

Of course the hacks knew. They just didn’t want to lose their invites.

That’s how deference turns to complicity.

Really interesting and I’m sure valuable for flat coastal areas.
I’m not sure there’s an equivalent for sandy cliffs like in these Norfolk places?
