Join Alan Edwards at the V&A for an After Dark talk with the man played a significant role in the News International phone hacking scandal.

Since being elected to Parliament to represent the people of West Bromwich East, Tom has served as a Government Whip and Defense Minister as well as Parliamentary Private Secretary at the Treasury. Tom has been a key part of the drive to uncover the various newspaper phone hacking scandals and gave evidence at the Leverson enquiry.
Before entering the House of Commons, Tom worked as the Political Adviser to Sir Ken Jackson at the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union. He has also worked for the Labour Party and Save the Children. He served on the Rover Taskforce, the Government appointed body that helped extend the life of the Longbridge car plant.
