ANDREW Neil is to join Times Radio to cover the next UK General Election as well as the upcoming US presidential election.
In a post on Twitter/X, the news outlet said the broadcaster would be joining to “present a new, agenda-setting daily news programme covering the UK and US elections”.
It added: “He is one of the UK’s best-known and most-respected journalists and broadcasters, and his show will be unmissable."
Times Radio said the first show would be broadcast from 1pm on Monday, September 9.
Neil hit the headlines recently after he was blasted for his “fervent hatred of the SNP” after sharing a newspaper cartoon depicting former first ministers being hanged.
The cartoon was widely condemned on social media as “sick” and “horrific,” and figures from across the party called out the journalist for sharing the image.
He is also the former chairman of GB News and was a presenter with the broadcaster, although claimed he rapidly quit after he saw the channel was becoming an “outlet for bizarre conspiracy theories” at “the nutty end of politics”.
Neil said that the show was launching at a seismic time for democracy. “Western liberal democracy has been tested more in these last years than in living memory,” he said.
“As UK and US citizens prepare to go to the polls, in nations polarised and divided, set against a world riven with instability and contention, my show on Times Radio will look to define the signal from the noise.”
