Sophy Ridge

Sophy Ridge continues to make Cabinet Ministers and MPs of all political persuasions squirm with hard-hitting one-to-one interviews. It’s an approach that can, and usually does, uncover vital information. She asks the right questions and ably represents the public by sticking to what matters in plain, unequivocal language.
