THE weekly debate show hosted by Fiona Bruce is taking place in Stratford-upon-Avon this evening.
Among panellists appearing tonight is Mick Lynch, the General Secretary of the RMT, who has been making a splash on the UK media rounds with his straight-to-the-point manner.
When is Question Time on and how can I watch?
Question Time starts at 10.40pm and will be broadcast on BBC One. It will also be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
Below is a list of all the guests who will be appearing this evening.
Mick Lynch
The General Secretary of the RMT has been making waves in the British media this week with his no-nonsense approach to questions put to him about the rail strikes.
Lynch became involved with the RMT when he started working for Eurostar in 1993 and has been speaking this week about the “appalling” treatment of railway workers.
Throughout the week, he has clashed with the likes of Kay Burley, Piers Morgan and Sophy Ridge.
Rachel Maclean
The Conservative MP for Redditch and the Safeguarding Minister is also set to appear on the show tonight.
In terms of political interests, she has previously sat on the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee between September 2017 and June 2018.
Outside of politics, Maclean set up a publishing company in 2005 with her husband specialising in IT and software content.

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
