A barrister for more than 30 years, Marina Wheeler is on a fresh mission for justice. As she publishes a landmark report on workplace harassment, she talks to Afua Hirsch about challenging power, life post-divorce from Boris Johnson and a liberating second act.
“I don’t know where the name ‘tsar’ came from,” Marina Wheeler laments, sipping tea in her barrister’s chambers in London’s Middle Temple, tucked away down a cobbled street between Fleet Street and the Thames. In spite of her protests, the moniker seems to have stuck. When it was announced, last October, that Wheeler was to advise the Labour Party on how better to protect women who speak out about workplace abuse, the title “whistleblowing tsar” was quickly coined by the papers.
Wheeler raises the case of Josie Stewart, the foreign office official who was fired in 2022 after giving an anonymous interview to the BBC criticising the handling of Britain’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. “There is so much there that needs to be looked at,” she says. Wheeler seems unafraid to critique her own profession too, which undoubtedly has a role to play in the current state of affairs.
