Chris Mason has been appointed the Political Editor of BBC, after Laura Kuenssberg announced in December she is to step down after seven years in the job.
Chris, 41, has been a political correspondent at the broadcaster for more than a decade, reporting from Westminster across TV, radio and online.
He has presented BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions? since 2019 and following news of Laura's exit, it was reported he was persuaded to apply for the job by BBC bosses after he was courted by rival broadcasters.
