The News Agents

Three BBC journalists, Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, left the corporation to start this weekday show with Global in August 2022, and it shows: the conversation is looser and more opinionated than anything they could do on the BBC. It is the liveliest way to follow Westminster, with the hosts trading inside knowledge about how British politics actually works. Their American coverage lives mostly on a separate feed, The News Agents USA, so the main show stays focused on Britain and the world as seen from London.
