This is a thrilling podcast - and not just because the subject is my ancestor. RBL was a restless Scottish lad who became Britain's agent in Bolshevik Russia and Churchill's chief propagandist - via scandal, diplomacy, journalism and a ticking-off from his Highlands grandma

Ever wondered if spies read spy books? After chatting to @ChiefMI6 Sir Richard Moore recently, I can tell you they do. One in particular: a gripping new biography of Robert Bruce-Lockhart, Britain's agent in Russia, by @DrJCrossland. Check it out here: https://t.co/sghcVzspcr

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague, David Knowles. David was a talented journalist and a much-loved friend and a colleague. He will be greatly missed.
