Columnist and broadcaster

Rod Liddle is a Times columnist and broadcaster. He worked for the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet in the mid-1980s before attending LSE as a mature student. He then began working for the BBC, and in 1998 was appointed editor of The Today Programme. He held this position until 2002, when he was forced to resign after the BBC claimed he breached his editorial commitments with comments made in his Guardian column regarding the Countryside Alliance. However, he stayed at the BBC to present Weekend, and the Talk Show, later becoming a team captain on Call My Bluff.

Liddle now writes for the Spectator, as well as contributing to The Sunday Times, Country Life, GQ and Arena, and is author of Too Beautiful For You (2003).
