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

Arctic sea ice is much more complicated than I was expecting when I started making this ep of @BBCMoreOrLess Things like ice depth and weather add a lot of uncertainty.
But the overall pattern is pretty easy to see.
