Lucas is non-resident Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis. Until 2018 he was a senior editor at The Economist. He writes a column for The Times and occasionally writes for the Daily Mail. He edited Standpoint magazine from September 2019 until March 2020. Lucas has covered Central and Eastern European affairs since 1986, writing, broadcasting, and speaking on the politics, economics, and security of the region.

In September 2021 he announced that he was to stand as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the constituency of Cities of London and Westminster in the next general election, currently expected to take place in 2024, though it could take place earlier. His selection as candidate was condemned by the Young Liberals, who described comments made by Lucas as transphobic and homophobic.
