Q&A: The Palantir block, tipping off MI5 & 24 Hours in Police Custody
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
Should a police commissioner publicly criticise the mayor who holds him to account? Sir Mark Rowley did exactly that after Sadiq Khan blocked the Met from working with Palantir, the AI company built on CIA technology. Neil explains the unwritten rules of police leadership, and why he understands the intervention, even if it breaks them.
Andy also responds to a listener who asks when he uncovered intelligence connected to the Manchester Arena bombing, should he have gone straight to MI5? He explains where the line sits between investigative journalism and national security, and what he'd do differently now.
Plus, how shows like 24 Hours in Police Custody actually get made, why most police forces say no to cameras, and what Neil learned when a documentary crew followed his murder squad around for ten months. And finally, if Andy had to join the police, would he pick up a detective's notebook or a Glock?
