Stephen Flynn took to Twitter/X to share the line-up for tonight’s show which he simply captioned with a TV and popcorn emoji.
Here’s all you need to know.
What time is Question Time on and how can I watch?
Question Time will be broadcast live from Birmingham at 8pm on Thursday evening. It will be available to watch on both BBC One and iPlayer from that time.
Here’s a look at the guests on tonight’s show.
Stephen Flynn
Flynn (below) was first elected as the MP for Aberdeen South in 2019 and is standing in that area once again in next week’s election.
He succeeded Ian Blackford as the leader of the SNP in Westminster in December 2022.
His appearance on the show comes after The National revealed how the Scottish Labour candidate in the constituency was spotted on a Ring doorbell camera saying his party aimed to help the Tories win the seat in 2019.
Yvette Cooper
Labour’s Yvette Cooper serves as the shadow home secretary, a role she has held since 2021 having also served in the position under Ed Miliband.
She has been an MP since the 1997 Westminster election and held a number of positions since then, including work and pensions secretary and chief secretary to the Treasury.
Cooper's (above) constituency was among those impacted by boundary changes so she is now standing to be the MP in Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley.
Andrew Mitchell
Representing the Tories is deputy foreign secretary Andrew Mitchell (below) who was first elected as an MP in 1987.
He represented Gedling in Nottinghamshire until 1997 before taking over as the MP for Sutton Coldfield from 2001.
Mitchell was previously one of Boris Johnson’s biggest allies although said he no longer supported him following Sue Gray’s report into the Partygate scandal.
He has made a number of appearances in the Commons lately amid Israel’s bombardment of Gaza although has rejected calls to suspend arms sales.
Layla Moran
The Liberal Democrats’ Layla Moran will be the fourth member of the panel on Question Time.
She was elected as an MP for Oxford West and Abingdon in 2017 and 2019 and is standing there again in this year’s election and has spoken a number of times on the suffering people are facing in Gaza, with her family directly impacted.
Moran (above) recently said that some members of her family were able to escape Gaza but were left “exhausted and traumatised”.
However, she also previously said that another relative died in Gaza due to an inability to access medical care.
