Angela Rayner, Matt Hancock, Tom Tugendhat, Jeremy Hunt and Wes Streeting Lead Britain’s Conversation from 18th July
LBC – the UK’s number one commercial news talk station – is to welcome five of Britain’s top political figures to guest-present its popular mid-morning show next week.
Angela Rayner, Matt Hancock, Tom Tugendhat, Jeremy Hunt and Wes Streeting will each host one of the 10am to 1pm programmes from Monday 18th to Friday 22nd July, while James O’Brien is on holiday.
During a turbulent and ever-changing political backdrop, this will be a timely opportunity to hear from five of Britain’s most straight-talking MPs, who will bring their unique insight, in-depth knowledge and wealth of political experience to LBC.
Across the week, LBC listeners will have the opportunity to speak directly to the five politicians, to challenge them on the big issues that matter, from the Conservative leadership battle and cost of living crisis to the war in Ukraine. Angela Rayner, Matt Hancock, Tom Tugendhat and Jeremy Hunt and will all make their radio-presenting debut on LBC, while Wes Streeting returns following his successful debut earlier this year.
The guest presenters join LBC at a time when the station is celebrating record audience figures, with 3.5 million listeners each week – representing the nineth consecutive record increase and the highest in LBC’s 49-year history. They will join the station’s stellar line-up of presenters including Nick Ferrari, James O’Brien, Shelagh Fogarty, Eddie Mair, Andrew Marr, Iain Dale, David Lammy and Rachel Johnson.
“With the country’s future up for grabs and more people than ever engaging with LBC, it’s the perfect moment to welcome five of the UK’s most influential politicians onto the airwaves.
“LBC is unique in giving our audience unparalleled access to those making the decisions affecting all our lives. While these guest presenters may be behind the mic, as ever, it’s LBC’s listeners in the driving seat, debating directly with those in power.”
