Guto Harri
Guto has done it all.
From covering domestic and international politics for the BBC, to working for Boris Johnson in Number 10.
He's got some great stories from his varied career, including the storm surrounding him taking the knee live on GB News.
An optimist, he's drawn to positive characters and despairs at the state of all the major parties.
So what does he think will happen? And would he ever go into elected politics?
