Politics Live


Politics Live is a BBC News political programme which launched on 3 September 2018. It is presented by Andrew Neil and Jo Coburn. The series replaced Daily Politics which ran in the same time-slot until July 2018. In the announcement, the BBC stated that the new series "will offer viewers a fast-moving, conversational show, featuring a blend of political interviews, discussion and video content designed to be shared digitally, ensuring Politics Live connects with the lives of people around the country." An extended programme of 105 minutes is broadcast on Wednesdays, to include live coverage of Prime Minister's Questions.
The show is not broadcast at weekends, over Christmas and New Year, and during the Easter and Summer holidays. It can also be absent when Parliament is not in session, or when there's a Queen's Speech.
