Welcome back to the Londoner’s Diary. Today we hear from Lady Suzanne Heywood, author and wife of the late civil servant Sir Jeremy Heywood, who defends his role in the recent Greensill scandal. Later, Jacqueline Wilson recalls a sartorial slip-up, actress Thandiwe Newton makes an aspiring artist’s dreams come true and historian Simon Schama warns of pandemic prejudices. We also hear about Emma Thompson’s (drag) race to work... Then in SW1A, Richard Tice describes the pub he wants to build with Laurence Fox and there’s bad news for Boris Johnson’s ‘levelling up’ agenda.
