Thursday means only one thing - it’s that time of the week where figures across the world of politics and beyond come together on BBC’s Question Time to have their say on the latest happenings across the country.

The long-running show has been hosted by Fiona Bruce since 2018 when she became the first female full-time presenter  in Question Time’s history.

This week Question Time will be hosted in Warrington, Cheshire. The town has previously welcomed the show in the past as it was also the setting of the show back in 2019.

Let’s take a look at who will be joining Bruce on the panel this evening as well as when and where to catch the show.
