Tom ’Peston’ Beardsworth

My son, Tom, is now [Jan13] midway through his three years at Oxford.

Almost since the start, he has worked on Cherwell, the student newspaper, as he pursues his interest in politics and journalism.

Yesterday, Jane and I saw what we thought was his first piece on camera. Tom's interview starts at 1min 45 into the video, or watch the first parts for context.

As his dad, I am in awe at his performance: I couldn't be as assured at 50, let alone 19.
