Far too important

So (h/t Guest Who) the Today programme turned to Catherine Mayer, the co-founder of the rather niche Women's Equality Party, this morning for her take on the BBC's Prince Andrew scoop. (Very BBC).

I salute Emily Maitlis for securing the interview without, as I understand it, the palace exercising editorial control. I can't say I look forward to watching tonight but I will certainly watch tonight.

But no, don't bother ringing me for silly little soundbite stuff or pitching me against some idiot controversialist. This is far too important.
