My thanks to the media team for working overtime to deliver this (audio, 6:40). Elizabeth on fine form, my warm thanks to her for standing in for me on this occasion.

We’ve long been big admirers of Julia Hartley-Brewer. We’ve been interviewed by her a number of times since launching J4MB in 2013, and every time she’s been well-informed and willing to listen and engage constructively with the points we’ve been making. Rare qualities in broadcasters today.

If everyone who read this gave us just £1.00 – or even better, £1.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
