Becky meets Keith Craig, someone not usually in the public eye, but who is a businessman, a former banker and an ex-diplomat.

He caused a bit of stir when he wrote a letter to the Financial Times complaining about the paper's "predictions of disaster" brought on by "the Brexit/Trump axis". He ended his letter by saying "face it, we FT readers have had our decades in charge and we blew it ".

He tells Becky about his unusual life working for the Foreign Office, why he wrote the letter and why he's got it in for "the middle classes."
