BBC5Live presenter Emma Barnett, who was controversially targeted by Corbyn loyalists on social media after a hard-hitting interview with the Labour leader, is tonight launching a new TV political discussion show After The News.

She will be co-hosting the show with LBC stalwart Nick Ferrari and the pair will joined by a panel of guests to discuss the hot political topics of the day.

Ms Barnett last made the headlines in the JC in August, when she grilled notorious journalist Kevin Myers over the thoughtless comments about Jews he made in his Irish Sunday Times column.
