Labour MP David Lammy is stepping down from hosting his weekend show on LBC as the UK general election approaches.

Lammy will be replaced on Sundays between 10am and 12pm by Lewis Goodall, the former Newsnight policy editor who is now a regular host on The News Agents podcast from LBC’s owner Global.

LBC said Goodall would present a flagship politics show for the station, with news, interviews and analysis going up against Sunday morning politics programmes by the likes of the BBC, Sky News, GB News and Times Radio.
