LBC – the UK’s number one commercial talk brand – has appointed Natasha Clark as its new Political Editor.

Natasha will join LBC in September as the station leads the political news agenda with exclusives, interviews and its flagship phone-ins, making sense of the issues that affect its audience across the UK.

She will work alongside some of the biggest names in broadcasting, such as Nick Ferrari, James O’Brien, Shelagh Fogarty, Andrew Marr, Iain Dale, David Lammy, Sangita Myska and Rachel Johnson, and with LBC’s award-winning team of journalists, including Westminster Editor and presenter Ben Kentish.

Natasha’s successful media career includes six years at The Sun where she is currently Chief Political Correspondent, as well as The Times, PoliticsHome and freelance for The Guardian and The Independent.

“After six incredible years at The Sun, I am thrilled to be joining LBC at such an exciting time, ahead of one of the most high stakes elections in years.

I can’t wait to start working with LBC and Global’s fantastic presenters and reporters – bringing our listeners and readers the stories and analysis that really matter to them.”
