Interviews

On the right you will find links to seven 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

• Afif Safieh, then Palestinian General Delegate

• Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor

• the journalists Jon Snow and Johann Hari

• the environmentalists Zac Goldsmith and Tony Juniper

• the historian Niall Ferguson

• 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

For Sublime, I have done more conventional, ‘written-up’ interviews of the ‘father of fair trade’, Richard Adams: the former inmate of Guantánamo Bay Moazzam Begg: and the Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier.


Over the years, I have secured interviews of over 250 public figures, either live at The Nave or in print for Third Way. Some of the best of the latter (all of which I also edited) can be found online in the Third Way archive.
