ALEX FORSYTH - the presenter.
Alex has worked as a BBC political correspondent for the past eight years, putting her on the frontline of
British politics during a particularly busy time which has seen three general elections, the EU referendum,
multiple leadership contests and the Covid pandemic. During this period she has also covered as a
presenter on Politics Live, the Westminster Hour & the World Tonight as well as regularly appearing on
the Brexitcast and Newscast podcasts. By working as a political correspondent based outside of London,
Alex has developed a new role for the BBC to diversify coverage and reach and reflect new audiences.
Since 2019 she’s travelled the UK, spending time with communities and providing the link between
political strategy in Westminster and the wider public mood. Alex has also had stints in specialist
departments including home affairs, education and foreign news, including periods living and working in
Brussels and Beirut. Alex started out in journalism in local newspapers before joining BBC local radio
teams in Oxford and then Southampton before moving to network news. She grew up in Portsmouth and
now lives in the West Midlands. Alex is thrilled to be hosting Any Questions? It’s a programme she has
listened to and loved for many years, providing a vital opportunity for people to put their questions to
elected leaders, which is more important than ever given the noise that can often surround the political
debate of our times. She looks forward to attempting to get some answers.
