He was an excellent journalist; incisive, tenacious and never one to be deflected by a politician who was trying to wriggle out of giving a straight answer. I listened to him interviewing one of the young victims of the Manchester Arena bombing and he demonstrated a completely different side: compassionate and gentle.
As for those who say it was time for him to move over and make room for a younger person..... shame on you. hard to believe we're in the 21st century
Soops Kitchen, a place of refuge, reflection and revelry.
