“Tonight is all about the importance of journalism
and the importance of a free press. Democracy dies
in darkness. And while I might sometimes wish that there were dimmer switches, all of you shine a light
and probe an important part of our democracy and
our government – always searching, scrutinising and holding us to account. Yours is truly vital work.”
Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP
Prime Minister
