Uncovering Britain's housing shame: The inside story of our award-winning investigation
“It’s not just the most angry I’ve been as a journalist, it’s probably the most angry I’ve been as a human being.”
ITV News Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt had no idea when viewing the home horrors in a family's cramped south London flat at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic that it would be his first steps in uncovering a national scandal.
In this special podcast he tells Lucrezia Millarini how his year-long investigation into Britain’s completely unlivable social housing has given voice to silenced tenants across the country, brought housing bosses in front of MPs, forced the government into a u-turn apology and triggered change across the industry.
Daniel has been crowned Specialist Journalist of the Year by the Royal Television Society for his work in an investigation team that included Imogen Barrer, Sophie Alexander and Sarah O'Connell.
