BBC’S Question Time is set to come to Glasgow on Thursday night with presenter Fiona Bruce set to head the show.
Plenty of topics are likely to be discussed ranging from Labour's pledge to create 1000 jobs through GB Energy which could now take 20 years to Donald Trump's ethnically cleansing comments about Gaza.
Here at The National, we’ve pulled together all the information you need to know ahead of Thursday's show.
Question Time will be broadcast on BBC iPlayer from 8pm and then on BBC One after the 10 o’clock news at 10.40pm.
Who will be appearing?
Kate Forbes
The Deputy First Minister, Forbes is also the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Gaelic, and is an SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch.
More recently, Forbes issued a damning response to the Chancellor’s growth plan as she said she was “deeply disappointed” that Rachel Reeves treated Scotland as an “afterthought”.
She added that she was “concerned” that the UK Government is further concentrating investment in prosperous areas in the south east of England.
Michael Shanks
A Scottish Labour MP for Rutherglen, Shanks is the Secretary of State for Energy.
In January Shanks insisted the UK Government’s ambition for GB Energy to deliver 1000 jobs had “not changed”.
However, it was revealed on Monday it could take as long as “20 years” for Labour to fulfill their General Election pledge to create 1000 new energy jobs in Scotland.
Russell Findlay
Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party since September, Findlay is an MSP for West Scotland and is a former journalist.
Earlier this week Findlay said Holyrood is the “epicentre” of “self-righteous” Scotland.
He added it is a “desperate place” which is often in “a bit of a bubble”.
Lorna Slater
The co-leader of the Scottish Greens, Slater is an MSP for Lothian.
Most recently Slater said that all governments must “stand up against Trump” and his ethnic cleansing proposals for Gaza.
She added that the Scottish Greens have long-called for a full UK arms embargo against Israel and opposed friendly relations with the US President.
Alex Massie
Former editor for The Spectator, Massie is a journalist based in Edinburgh.
He is now the co-host of the Scottish politics podcast, Ponsonby & Massie.
