Presenter Andrew Rawnsley

Chief Political Commentator and Associate Editor of The Observer, Andrew has won a string of awards for his journalism, including the prestigious What The Papers Say award for Columnist of the Year and Journalist of the Year in both the Channel 4 and Public Affairs political awards. He was voted Commentator of the Year in this year's House Magazine awards.

Andrew's ground-breaking and award-winning account of New Labour, Servants of the People, was a top ten bestseller in both paperback and hard cover.

He has anchored political programmes on television and radio for the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV . His interviews have broken many news-making and agenda-setting scoops. It was in an interview with Andrew on Radio 4's Westminster Hour that Clare Short threatened to resign over the Iraq war. He was also the first journalist to ask David Cameron whether he had used drugs.
