IN the second Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show of 2024, Keir Starmer and David Cameron will both appear.
The Prime Minister appeared on the BBC’s flagship political programme last week where he was asked about a range of topics, including the Government’s plan to send migrants to Rwanda, NHS waiting times in England, and the upcoming General Election.
Many have since taken to social media to criticise the Prime Minister for his interview, in which he repeatedly told the host to make sure she asked Starmer similar questions when he appears on the show.

Kuenssberg shared the guest lineup on Twitter/X on Saturday afternoon, writing: "A big show for you tomorrow morning".
Labour leader Keir Starmer, described by Kuenssberg as the "man seen to be prime minister in waiting", will follow Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's appearance last week. General Election policy will likely be top of the agenda, alongside the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and recent action in Yemen, which Starmer has said he backs.
Former prime minister and current Foreign Secretary David Cameron will also appear. This follows the strikes in Yemen as well as his appearance at the Foreign Affairs committee in which SNP MP Brendon O'Hara grilled him on if Israel has broken international humanitarian law in Palestine.
On the panel is Scots actor Alan Cumming, on his media round promoting his solo show, Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age.
Independent editor Geordie Greig will join Cumming, alongside journalist Isabel Oakeshott.
Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer starting from 9am until 10am.
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
