David joins Dion on this week's episode of Ireland Unfiltered to discuss his  role as former editor of The Sun, why the British establishment doesn't really care about Ireland, and how the TV series Succession was cruel on the Murdoch family.

David Yelland: The British Establishment doesn’t care about Ireland and this is why

David Yelland is the former Editor of The Sun, and is now a senior communications advisor to global CEOs.  A journalist for 18 years, he started on a local weekly newspaper, eventually reaching Deputy Editor at the New York Post. He then took the reins for five successful years at Britain's biggest-selling daily newspaper before leaving to join the world of corporate comms. In this in-depth interview, David discusses the challenges he faced as Editor; talks candidly about his successes and mistakes, and the reality of working with Rupert Murdoch; shares leadership lessons from his time at Harvard Business School; argues passionately against Brexit and offers his analysis of why the Remain campaign lost; and explains his work tackling alcoholism, inspired by his own recovery.
