Back in 2022, investigative reporter Sönke Iwersen received 100 gigabytes of confidential leaked data from a whistle-blower inside Tesla.

The files detailed dangerous autopilot software errors, a high number of workplace accidents in Tesla’s factories and a culture of fear within the company.

Iwersen's investigation is now a book called The Tesla Files: Inside Elon Musk's Empire of Power and Deception.

"We found, actually, that there had been warnings inside Tesla about this mistake, the level of insecurity - and later, the guy who had warned us about it was later fired for it."

The Clarke Gayford-produced documentary chronicling the premiership of his wife and former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern promises an intimate look at the former leader.

Besides interviews and archival footage, it also includes home footage shot by Gayford and is described as a look into both Ardern’s administration and private life

Clarke Gayford says he wanted the documentary to reveal the honest bits of Ardern's tumultuous political life.

"Just trying to put a human face on what it means to be a politician, because the world we live in is getting crazier and spinning faster and faster - and so that was sort of the drive that made me want to pull this all together."

Prime Minister is set to arrive in cinemas on Thursday September 25th.

Clown Town by Mick Herron. This is the latest novel in his Slow Horses series, about Jackson Lamb and the cast of MI5 misfits and rejects that he manages in Slough House. They are brilliant books and this one is no exception. There are several seasons of an Apple TV series based on the books which is wonderful television, but as always, the books are even better. Highly recommended for anyone who likes spy stories, and eccentric, interesting and deeply flawed characters.

Fly, Wild Swans by Jung Chang. In 1991, Jung Chang’s memoir about three generations of women in her family in China was on everyone’s reading list - and it was wonderful. This is a follow up, updating things since the impact that success had on her life, change in China and its place in the world over the years and what’s happened to her during that period - it’s really a personal and global memoir, and much of it is a love letter to her mother. Her books are all banned in China, but luckily we have them here.
