Iain Dale
Iain Dale helps organisations read the political landscape and plan for policy change. A political speaker and LBC Evening Show presenter, he's written or edited more than 60 books and comments regularly on Newsnight and Politics Live.
Iain Dale is one of Britain's best-known political broadcasters, presenting LBC's Evening Show. He speaks on British politics, elections, and policy change, helping organisations understand what Westminster is likely to do next and how it affects them.
Iain has written or edited more than 60 books, most recently a biography of Margaret Thatcher, and founded Total Politics magazine. He's a regular pundit on Good Morning Britain, Politics Live, and Newsnight, writes for the New Statesman and The Daily Telegraph, and hosts the Iain Dale All Talk podcast.
His career started in Westminster as a parliamentary researcher before he moved into publishing and broadcasting, so he knows how policy gets made as well as how it's reported. Iain explains political risk in plain language, sets current events against their historical context, and gives organisations a clearer sense of which announcements matter and which are noise.
Audiences come away with a clearer read on the likely direction of UK policy, an understanding of how elections and leadership changes ripple into regulation and markets, and a practical way to separate meaningful political signals from the daily news cycle. His sessions also work well as moderated Q and A sessions and panel discussions.
For conferences, leadership briefings, and dinners where politics shapes the agenda, Iain brings analysis from someone who questions politicians on air several nights a week.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
