Bit of news 👇 Thrilled to say I’ll be presenting a new flagship Sunday morning politics show for @LBC 10-12 ‘Sunday with Lewis Goodall’ will have the best political interviews, top analysis on UK, US elections (& more) plus exclusive on-the-ground reporting. Starts this week!
It’s sad to be saying goodbye to #BBCSevenDays. The programme was the very first show I presented on the BBC and will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve been able to speak to great panellists and of course co-present alongside the best of the best. Thank you. ♥️
🚨 NEW: The SNP has confirmed Humza Yousaf will make a statement on his future at midday today. If hapless Humza decides his time is up, who’s next in line to replace him? ✍️ Steerpike: Runners and riders for next SNP leader spectator.co.uk/article/runner…
More than 5 years of explaining & analysing the big stories of the week. It was always a privilege. A place of respect where widely differing views could be discussed civilly. Thank you to our amazing panelists & #BBCSevenDays crew. And I got to work with this guy …..👇🏻❤️❤️
Much happening? Quiet week ahead by looks of it...
New: Turns out email is the new Tory WhatsApp group… Rachel Maclean has drafted a letter to the Chancellor on the 2019 Tory pledge to reduce ground rents to a peppercorn with regards to the Leasehold Bill. Unfortunately Robin Walker sent his reply to 330+ MPs’ accounts… 1/2
Another vintage Humza Yousaf quote today re the Greens: “I didn’t mean, and didn’t intend, to make them as angry as they clearly are.”
