Six correspondents, and the beats they will not leave alone.
Covers the chamber and the corridor. Reads every amendment before the vote, including the ones nobody circulates.
Sits in the back row of courtrooms. Files the ruling before anyone offers to explain it to him.
Labour desk. Has stood on more picket lines than press risers, and keeps every contract since 2015.
Science, and the policy it collides with. Trained as a chemist; goes back to the sample size first.
Foreign desk. Files from where the story is rather than where the bureau is.
Documents first, phone calls second. Has kept every records request this desk has filed since 2014.
