Interviews

On the right you will find links to eight of the best I’ve done for Third Way – for which I have also interviewed

• General Sir Michael Jackson, then Chief of the General Staff

• the MPs Donald (now Lord) Anderson, Alan Beith, Martin Bell, Gary Streeter and Stephen Timms and the Green MEP Caroline Lucas

• Sayeeda Warsi, the youngest member of the House of Lords

• Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor

• the journalists Jon Snow and Johann Hari

• the environmental campaigners Zac Goldsmith, Tony Juniper, Tamsin Omond and Franny Armstrong

• the historian Niall Ferguson

• the human-rights activist Bianca Jagger

• the former All Black Va’aiga ‘Inga the Winger’ Tuigamala

as well as, with a colleague,

• Nick Griffin, chair of the British National Party

• David (now Lord) Puttnam

• the satirist Mark Thomas

• the journalist Nick Cohen

• Mark Thompson, then head of Channel 4, now director-general of the BBC

I have done some more conventional, ‘written-up’ interviews: for Sublime, of the ‘father of fair trade’, Richard Adams, the former Guantánamo prisoner Moazzam Begg and the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier; and for Church Times the award-winning human-rights journalist Dina Meza.

Over the years, I have secured interviews of well over 200 public figures, either live at The Nave or in print for Third Way. The most recent of the latter (all of which I also edited) can be found online in the Third Way archive.
