I'll just leave this here, ready.
Jess Brammar, 38 (St Katherine's School, Bristol and BA 1st Class International History with Russian LSE) does not come from an obvious journalistic background although her parents met when her mother was the secretary at BBC Radio Sheffield and her father the station’s football correspondent.
Her first ambition was nursing, but she found she needed double science A levels, which she hadn't got. She talks of two “horrendous” years on a data entry job at Norwich Union before escaping to the London School of Economics. At the LSE she was features editor for the fortnightly student paper, The Beaver.
She started in broadcasting as a researcher on Question Time, then patrolled the business and economics beat at ITN for nearly five years, before moving to Newsnight in 2014. She introduced a new policy at planning meetings - that there is no such thing as a stupid question, and rose to joint acting editor, post-Katz. Esme Wren got the permanent gig, and Jess moved to HuffPost UK in 2018.
