Just that really. Kate, from Keep Prisons Single Sex, was just on the segment that finished at 8.20 talking about men in women's prisons. She was extraordinarily good, so clear & concise. You could hear a pin drop.

Brava, Kate.

She was brilliant.

I really liked the effect on the studio aideince. Presumably all fairly clued up people who will know at least the bones of the arguments at play. They started off quite active, clapping etc and gradually became more still and there was a real feeling of them grasping the seriousness. One shot showed them completely still listening to her and every single face grave.

Kate was so good, so clear, so knowledgeable and so righteously cross. Being able to get across so many points in a accessible way so quickly is an incredible skills. Introducing the elements of subterfuge and planned policy capture and backing that up with names, dates, organisations to really get across the dark background to a lot of this.

What is ridiculous is this is someone who has not been widely interviewed. I've followed this increasingly closely recently but never ever heard her interviewed before. Have the BBC ever had her on? Woman's Hour? Have I just missed her?

What a brilliant speaker - clear, articulate and knows her subject so well. Hope she's interviewed more widely.

Wow this is the first time I've seen Kate interviewed and she was phenomenal, clear and unequivocal. I hope we get to see more of her.

Kate Coleman has so much integrity. Quietly working non-stop for women in prison. I'd give her crown if I could.

Thank you for posting this. What a brave, eloquent, compassionate, superbly-informed woman she is. If only people like her were running the country.

Thank you Kate. That was such a good and clear interview.

She was great. How have we got to this stage. Just stating facts and common sense. I really wish there would be a public inquiry into this, a truly independent one, but there wont be. Someone from the prisons service will no doubt end up being the fall guy.

She was excellent and Andrew Doyle was really good in not speaking over her, he's done a lot of good work on the trans issue.

She was excellent. Crystal clear, pulled no punches and very clearly knew her stuff exceptionally well.
