What a beautiful young woman and authentic, humble. I enjoy Full Disclosure as it harks back to the days of Parkinson, as interviewee is genuinely interested in his guests and providing to the audience by discerning/well researched questioning who his guests really are by stripping back the ‘celebrity’ persona. Up there with the late great Parkinson.

What a great interview with Sadiq Khan. So much of what he said is why we should remember the wonderful city and country we have - diverse, vibrant and on the side of equality. I remember what it was like in the 80s as an Irish person and that’s not a patch on what the black and brown communities went through. Forget the billionaire run media, get back to community living and listening to individuals. Wonderful. 👏
