NORMAL service is resumed on Question Time this week, with no representative from Westminster ’s third-largest party on the panel.
There is, however, a slot for Richard Leonard. You know, the leader of Scottish Labour.
Don’t worry if you required a reminder, only 37% of Labour voters knew he was their leader in a poll conducted earlier this year.
Fiona Bruce will host the show, which will be broadcast at 10.35pm on BBC One Scotland.
It is being held in South Shields, in the north east of England.
- Joining Leonard on the panel are: Tory peer and former chancellor Norman Lamont.
- LibDem MP Caroline Voaden.
- Award-winning film director Ken Loach.
- And Kate Andrews of the Institute of Economic Affairs.
Here’s our panel in South Shields tonight. We’ve got Norman Lamont, @LabourRichard, @CarolineVoaden, @KenLoachSixteen and @KateAndrs. See you at 10:35pm on @BBCOne #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/QbmrkOr6QK

Boris Johnson’s fresh push for a General Election is sure to be top of the agenda.
And who knows, maybe the Tory government’s plans to bypass Holyrood will get a mention too.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
