Comment: Not much improvement in references, only press release / passing mention announcements. Need more secondary sources that cover the person in depth but aren't Q&A interviews. Does not meet notability for journalists as just an editor. Is she editor-in-chief somewhere? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:10, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

She is a regular media commentator, often appearing on programmes such as BBC Politics Live[5] and ITV's This Morning[6]. In June 2018. she was a guest on BBC Question Time, declaring that the Brexit negotiations had made Britain "a global laughing stock[7]."
