BBC presenter to stand in for Laura Kuenssberg as host on Sunday's show

BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg will be replaced by another host for this Sunday’s programme.

The flagship political news show, broadcast at 9am on BBC One on Sunday’s is normally hosted by Kuenssberg.

The presenter's father, Nick Kuenssberg, one of Scotland’s best-known business figures, died recently at the age of 80 on October 2. Her social media has been silent since.

Kuenssberg will be replaced by Victoria Derbyshire for this Sunday’s show.

Labour’s conference begins in Liverpool today, with Keir Starmer being interviewed by Derbyshire.

The show recently returned after recess. Among those to make an appearance so far was Scottish author Irvine Welsh who said voting should be abolished and that a “lottery system” should instead be used to elect MPs.

Kuenssberg and her fellow panellists were left stunned by the pitch with the presenter saying the show had taken on a “whole new format for political conversation” before it wrapped up.
