An Insider's View

Andrew Pierce, Asistant Editor, The Daily Telegraph

Wednesday 7 October, 12:45

Andrew Pierce is a right-of-centre political journalist who writes an insider’s view of Parliament. After more than twenty years as a journalist, he is both feared and revered in equal measure. He has a reputation for ferreting out scandal and gossip that the great and the good might
prefer to keep quiet — none more so than the Telegraph’s on-going exposé of MPs’ expenses.

The repercussions of this current scandal — believed to be the biggest investigative journalism story in British newspaper history — will be felt for some time to come and could well force an early General Election. As the Assistant Editor of the paper, Andrew’s influence on the political world is substantial; his view on the future of British politics promises to be both
interesting and highly entertaining.
