Lewis Goodall: reflecting on a momentous decade in British politics

The Meridian Podcast

BBC Newsnight's Lewis Goodall joins Ollie this week for an in-depth discussion about his experiences reporting on UK politics over the last 10 years.

Lewis (@lewis_goodall), formerly a political correspondent for Sky News, goes into some of his favourite memories from his career: he was reporting from the front line of some of our biggest stories in recent years including multiple elections, the Brexit drama, debates about foreign policy and more recently, coronavirus.

In addition, the pair discuss the role of the BBC in political discourse and its doctrine of impartiality & Lewis talks of his 'viral' moments - including an on-camera run in with the now infamous political strategist Dominic Cummings during the height of the Brexit process.

We hope you enjoy this absolute treat of an episode that looks at all things politics, media, and includes an insight into how Lewis made his career!
