Marina Wheeler: ‘I certainly never pretended to be a Conservative’

As the general election looms, the Labour Party is preparing for government.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
If it wins, one issue it wants to tackle is sexual harassment in the workplace and better protection for whistleblowers.
And who better to help it do that than leading human rights barrister Marina Wheeler KC - who you may remember is Boris Johnson's former wife.
We sat down with her and began by asking her to set out the scale of the problem.

    Personally, I would have gotten annoyed at all the questions pertaining to my ex-spouse and assuming that just because I was once associated with that person that I would also believe in the same things as that person. That's not how it works. Nevertheless, all of those questions allowed us to see how much of a 'grown up' Marina Wheeler is. She demonstrated herself to be articulate, pragmatic and to her credit, did not get into a huff and deftly deflected the questions without being rude or aloof.

    Cathy Newman repeatedly uttered inaccurate summaries of her interviewee’s statements on January 16, 2018 in a blatant (but failed) attempt to make her intellectually superior interviewee seem sexist. Cathy: WE CONDEMN YOU. We criticize you strongly. We hate your bad interviewing. We will never forget and we’ll fight for justice for what happened that day.
