Journalism with Heart and Clarity

Lewis Goodall has emerged as one of Britain’s most dynamic political journalists, bringing intelligence, empathy, and accessibility to the often-murky world of Westminster. Born in Birmingham in 1989, he studied History and Politics at Oxford before entering broadcast journalism, quickly earning a reputation for his sharp analysis and approachable style.

Goodall cut his teeth at Sky News before moving to the BBC as Newsnight’s Policy Editor. There, his clear explanations of complex issues won wide praise, making him one of the programme’s standout figures. In 2022, he joined Global as co-host of The News Agents podcast alongside Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel. The podcast quickly became essential listening, offering sharp daily analysis of politics at home and abroad with warmth, wit, and relatability.

What sets Goodall apart is his ability to combine authority with humanity. He explains politics not just as strategy or theatre, but as something that affects real people. His social media presence amplifies that approach — bringing clarity to stories as they unfold and engaging directly with the public.

Goodall represents the best of modern journalism: rigorous, compassionate, and unafraid to challenge those in power while remaining open to his audience. He is not only a chronicler of politics but also a bridge between Westminster and the wider country.
