Summary: What does it mean to 'trust' political institutions? And how can local government play its part in raising the level of political discourse? This week, we focus on transparency and accountability in the democratic process with highlights from our recent event on trust and briefings on the DCMS Civil Society Strategy, proposed new electoral laws on social media and the Carillion collapse. Plus our regular roundup of news from the past two weeks including Sadiq Khan's new knife crime unit, tackling county lines gangs and some lighter stories involving ravens and wheelie bins in our 'And Finally' section. Hosted by Jen Glover and Jonathan Carr-West.
