Duncan Barkes moves on from BBC Radio London
BBC Radio London presenter Duncan Barkes has left radio in London after a ten year stint of broadcasting to the capital to become a political adviser.
Duncan joined Radio London in 2015 to present ‘London’s Late Night Radio Phone-In’ from LBC where he previously presented the late night and overnight shows since 2011.
Previous to this he hosted the overnight show on talkSPORT.
Since July 2020, he has been presenting the weekend early morning shows on Radio London which have also been broadcast on the BBC local radio network and on BBC 5 Live.
His other BBC work has included presenting ‘The Newsroom’ on the BBC World Service and also covering The Nolan Show on 5 Live.
The speed and efficiency of our vaccine rollout is a source of national pride. The Government has met its 15th February target of vaccinating the four highest priority groups, with over 15.5 million people across the UK having received their first dose as of Monday. This is a tremendous success and I pay tribute to the NHS staff, GPs, scientists, military personnel, volunteers, and all others involved here in Dorset. Everyone aged 65 and over can now book their vaccination by calling 119 or visiting the NHS website. Last Wednesday was a busy day in the House of Commons. At Transport Select Committee in the morning, I pointed out that London buses enjoy considerably more funding per journey when compared to rural areas like Dorset. As the Government levels-up the country, it is vital that rural communities remain connected.
Motoring groups have called for a review of the legal limit, an increase in roadside testing and the introduction of alco-locks for motorists with previous convictions for being over the influence.
