Cathy Newman is one of Channel 4 News’ anchors, having joined as a political correspondent in 2006. Her scoops have included the investigation into a British paedophile who abused vulnerable boys in Kenya and the arrest of David Cameron’s most senior aide. Cathy is the author of Bloody Brilliant Women, a freewheeling history of modern Britain, in which she puts the spotlight on the pioneering women who defied the odds, and on whose shoulders we stand today.
