Alex Forsyth 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 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.
Recently Alex has developed a new role for the BBC, working as a political correspondent based outside of London 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.
