John Stevenson

On All Things Considered this week we mark the death of former BBC Wales political reporter, John Stevenson. In 2014 he spoke to Roy Jenkins about his remarkable and very painful story of what he regarded as a lost decade. His marriage had gone, so had a couple of jobs, and he spent most of those years in an alcoholic haze, sleeping rough on city streets. However, a generous break from a Welsh MP helped him back on his feet.
