Hello and welcome back to Backlight!

In this episode, we talk to our investigations editor May Bulman, and social affairs correspondent from The Independent, Holly Bancroft about the exciting impact of their investigation into the Afghan commandos left behind by the British government.

It’s both a deep-dive into the investigation, and an inside look at the impact-driven strategy that compelled the British Government to reverse its previous decision to deny hundreds of Afghans safety in the UK.
