One of the best journalists I have worked with. The BBC need journalists of her calibre. Kate is also genuinely lovely. I will miss her and so will the BBC.
Today is my last day at the BBC. To be totally open, I’m being made redundant Whether running More Or Less during the pandemic, reporting on Grenfell & the climate, I’m extraordinarily proud of my work Public service broadcasting can be engaging & essential & I hope to continue
