Update 31 May: Andrew Neil will join Times Radio earlier than first planned after the snap election was announced for July.

Neil was going to join in September in the run-up to an anticipated autumn election. He will now instead start on 3 June, a month before polling day.

Neil will broadcast for one hour every Monday to Thursday at 1pm. Once a week he will be joined by Conservative Michael Gove and Labour’s Harriet Harman, who both decided not to stand for re-election.
