A former PR chief for David Cameron’s government believes that telling the public “how news gets made” could help improve trust in Westminster.

Giles Kenningham, a former director of communications for the Conservative Party and special adviser to the prime minister between May 2015 and July 2016, is one of the co-presenters of the Hacks and Flaks podcast. Hosted by journalist Petrie Hosken, the show also features Mick Booker of GB News and Andrew MacDougall, who works with Kenningham at their PR consultancy, Trafalgar Strategy.

Kenningham told Press Gazette he wants to help the public understand how the “sausage gets made”. He said he hopes to emulate some of the success of All Or Nothing, a behind-the-scenes sporting series made by Amazon Prime.
