THE latest episode of Question Time is already attracting criticism with its choice of panel for Thursday evening’s show.
With the General Election just weeks away, a range of guests are set to appear on the show, which will be broadcast from Epsom.
The show will be available live on BBC One and BBCiPlayer at 8pm.
We’ve put together a list of who’s on the show.
Nigel Farage
Farage has said he is set to make his 37th appearance on the latest episode of Question Time.
In the build-up to the show, the honorary president of Reform UK hit out at the broadcaster over its “woke diversity and inclusion monitoring”.
Although he’s with Reform UK now, Farage (above) was previously the leader of Ukip and served as the MEP for South East England from 1999-2020.
Wes Streeting
Streeting (below) serves as the shadow health secretary and has been the MP for Ilford North since 2015.
He also previously worked as the shadow minister for schools and as the shadow secretary of state for child poverty.
The shadow health secretary was panned by the SNP this week as he promised Labour will go “further” than Tony Blair in making use of the private sector to ease NHS pressures.
Piers Morgan
Morgan currently hosts talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored. The show was originally broadcast by TalkTV but has since been moved to YouTube.
He was also the host of Good Morning Britain between 2015 and 2021 but left the programme after causing controversy over a debate on Meghan Markle.
Morgan (above) is also the former editor of News of The World and the Daily Mirror.
Damian Hinds
Hinds has been the MP for East Hampshire since 2010 and has held a number of roles since then.
He currently works as them minister of state for schools having worked as the Education Secretary under Theresa May.
Hinds is standing for election once again having one his seat in 2019 with 58.8% of the vote.
Rose Hudson-Wilkin
Hudson-Wilkin is the Bishop of Dover and was the first black female Church of England bishop.
She is also a former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II and, according to the UK Government’s website, she leads the prayers in the House of Commons.
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
