Host Fiona Bruce will chair a panel discussion on BBC One from 10.40pm, with viewers also able to catch the show on iPlayer or BBC Sounds.
Polls for the Gorton and Denton by-election in Greater Manchester will close at 10pm, meaning any broadcast limits imposed during the vote will no longer be in effect.
Here are the panellists.
Lisa Nandy
Lisa Nandy has been the MP for Wigan since 2010, and has been a member of Keir Starmer’s Cabinet since Labour won the General Election in 2024, serving as the Culture Secretary. She previously stood for the Labour Party leadership and was seen as a soft-left candidate.
In Government, Nandy – who is also Sports Secretary – was forced to apologise last November after it became known that she had chosen one of her own political donors to run England’s new football regulator.
She had also come under heavy fire the previous month after falsely telling Parliament that a ban on away fans was “unprecedented in modern times” when attacking a police decision to block Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an Aston Villa game. She has still not corrected the record.
Alicia Kearns
Alicia Kearns has been a Conservative MP since 2019, and currently works as a shadow Home Office minister under Kemi Badenoch.
In October 2022, Kearns was elected the chair of Westminster’s Foreign Affairs Committee, a senior role for backbench MPs and a position she held until 2024. She was the first woman ever to hold the position and the youngest ever female chair of a select committee (she was 34).
Kearns worked in counter terrorism before her election as an MP, and in March 2025 became one of the few voices on the right to join calls for the UK Government to cancel Donald Trump’s state visit.
Jess Brown-Fuller
Jess Brown-Fuller is a LibDem MP. She won the Chichester seat from former education secretary Gillian Keegan in the 2024 General Election, the first time in a full century that the constituency did not elect a Conservative.
Previously, she was a councillor on the LibDem-controlled Chichester District Council and held the portfolio for culture, arts and events. At Westminster, Brown-Fuller is the LibDems’ justice spokesperson.
Tom Kerridge
A celebrity chef and business owner, Tom Kerridge has three Michelin stars to his name. Two of them have been awarded to his The Hand and Flowers pub in Marlow, England – said to be the first pub ever to win such a high accolade. In the same town, he also runs the one Michelin star The Coach. He also owns two other eateries.
Kerridge was one of 120 business people to sign an open letter calling for voters to back Labour ahead of the 2024 General Election. The letter said the party had “shown it has changed and wants to work with business to achieve the UK’s full economic potential”.
However, since then he has criticised the Labour Government’s policies, especially on business rates, which he said were “killing [restaurants] off”.
Esther Krakue
Esther Krakue is a journalist and broadcaster who writes for The Daily Express and Sky News Australia, both right-wing outlets. Her website lists various comment pieces she has written for both outlets in recent months, including in support of the far-right US influencer Charlie Kirk, and attacking the UK Government and Meghan Markle.
Headlines on articles she has written in the past four months include “‘Declining by every metric’: Australia, please colonise Great Britain as immigration onslaught, tanking economy leaves us up the creek”, “Christmas markets are now under siege – and they will remain so until we confront Islamism”, and “Ed Davey is from a rudderless, gormless swamp where dreams go to die”.
