Winifred Robinson

On 9 January 2018, Robinson was removed for the day as You and Yours presenter as she had tweeted support for Carrie Gracie, the BBC's former China editor, who resigned from the post. The BBC said that allowing Robinson to broadcast on equal pay would break the corporation's impartiality rules.

Robinson joined You and Yours, but continues to present documentaries on social issues, an area she previously tackled as a Today reporter. In 2007 Robinson revisited the Norris Green housing estate in Liverpool, where she spent most of her formative years, for a radio documentary, examining problems the area faced. Robinson has also written for the Daily Mail and The Independent newspapers.

Robinson began her career on the Ormskirk Advertiser newspaper, and later moved to local radio, and the local television news Northwest Tonight. She has also presented File on 4. Robinson became a reporter on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme in 1995, and briefly was a presenter, but was reportedly 'passed over' because of her Liverpool accent, an accusation the BBC has denied, and Sarah Montague was appointed.

In 1979, she graduated from Liverpool University with a degree in English.

Winifred Robinson (born 7 December 1957) is a BBC Radio presenter of the You and Yours programme.
