Description: The rise and fall of Allegra Stratton is about so much more than a Tory government which flouted its own rules while ordinary people couldn't hold the hands of their dying loved ones.

This says everything about our media industry - and our broken democracy. Please like, subscribe - and help us take us take on the right-wing media here: patreon.com/owenjones84
