In 2022, Laura Kuenssberg, 47, stepped down as the BBC’s political editor, a position she held for seven years. Later that year, she replaced Andrew Marr as the face of Sunday morning politics on her own weekly live show, Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg. She also presented State of Chaos, a three-part documentary about British politics since the Brexit vote.
