ITN has completed the revamping of its political team for ITV News with the appointment of Angus Walker and Libby Wiener as political correspondents.
They join political editor Nick Robinson and senior political correspondent John Ray, both relatively recent appointments, on the political team. Wiener, a former royal correspondent, has been working as a news reporter for ITV News for the past year.
Walker has been working as a business producer and occasional news reporter for ITV News.
