Pippa Crerar

Political Editor, The Guardian

Pippa has covered Westminster and international politics for more than two decades, reporting on six general elections, seven prime ministers and too many major news stories to mention, from the Iraq war and the financial crash to Brexit and parliamentary scandals.


She is Political Editor of The Guardian - where she has held the Truss and Sunak governments to account and covered the transformation of the Labour party - and previously held the same role at the Daily Mirror where she exposed the Partygate and Barnard Castle scandals. Before that she covered politics at the London Evening Standard.


A regular on broadcast media including Sky News and the BBC, where she is a presenter of Radio 4's The Week in Westminster, she is a multi-award winning journalist who is currently the Society of Editors' political journalist of the year.
