Laura Kuenssberg

BBC Political editor

Scot Laura Kuenssberg is the first woman to become BBC political editor, and she's already won many fans with her self-effacing onscreen manner and dogged pursuit of a story. She made her name at the BBC and defected to ITV to cover economics, before being poached back. With the ‘Brexit’ vote on membership of the European Union later this year, expect her to be busy at Brussels as well as Westminster.
