Natasha Clark said: "After six incredible years at The Sun, I am thrilled to be joining LBC at such an exciting time, ahead of one of the most high stakes elections in years. I can't wait to start working with LBC and Global's fantastic presenters and reporters – bringing our listeners and readers the stories and analysis that really matter to them."
