John Humphrys retires after an unrivalled career. When I was a student he told me never to aim to be a ”presenter”. That was in 2014. This month I’m marking 2 years doing the best job ever, hosting breakfast on local radio ( @BBCGuernsey ). To all hopefuls: work hard & go for it!

I met Paddy Ashdown once, in 2014. He said “the great challenge is whether a tolerant, international and outwardly-engaged Britain can survive. Or is it going to become inwardly-looking and isolationist? Is it going to turn in on itself?” Insightful, principled, committed.
