Across the week, LBC listeners will have the opportunity to speak directly to the five politicians, to challenge them on the big issues that matter, from the Conservative leadership battle and cost of living crisis to the war in Ukraine.

Angela Rayner, Matt Hancock, Tom Tugendhat and Jeremy Hunt will all make their radio-presenting debut on LBC, while Wes Streeting returns following his successful debut earlier this year.

Tom Cheal, LBC’s managing editor, said: “With the country’s future up for grabs and more people than ever engaging with LBC, it’s the perfect moment to welcome five of the UK’s most influential politicians onto the airwaves. LBC is unique in giving our audience unparalleled access to those making the decisions affecting all our lives. While these guest presenters may be behind the mic, as ever, it’s LBC’s listeners in the driving seat, debating directly with those in power.”
