Description
She reported from the wreckage of Lockerbie, was held at gunpoint in the Balkans, and interviewed a dictator accused of ethnic cleansing.

- What life was really like on Tony Blair’s 1997 battle bus
- The night David Cameron realised he’d lost Brexit — and his job
- Why younger generations turning to TikTok for politics leaves her uneasy
