Lbc Elections Analyst Commentator @Global

London, GB

I\'ve now worked on 24 sets of UK General, local, European and US Presidential elections as LBC\'s on-air elections analyst/commentator, mostly providing in-studio analysis on results and statistics throughout election night. I\'ve been fortunate enough to work with some huge names in broadcasting including Iain Dale, Shelagh Fogarty, Nick Ferrari, Andrew Marr, Michael Crick, Steve Allen, Andrew Castle, Tom Swarbrick, Ben Kentish Theo Usherwood, Jacqui Smith, Duncan Barkes, Andrew Castle, Olly Mann and Petrie Hosken. I\'ve also been fortunate enough to meet and debate with dozens of politicians from all political parties as they try to put a spin on exit polls and election results.Highlights have included going on air with the expectation that Ed Balls would lose his seat just after polls closed in 2015 (no other broadcaster predicted this for hours), being the first UK broadcaster to call the 2016 US election for Donald Trump, debating with Ed Davey in mid 2019 that the LibDems were likely to perform very badly at the subsequent election if they cling too much to single issue politics and answering questions for a full hour in 2021 on the future of democracy.Prior to my work on LBC I also provided election analysis to the 18 Doughty Street internet TV station and the Play Radio UK internet radio network.
