BBC Politics Live is a weekday BBC News lunchtime political programme which launched on 3 September 2018. It broadcasts when the Parliament is in session and during the three-week party conference season.
The 45-minute programme is presented by Jo Coburn and features at least four guests debating the political stories of the day alongside reports and other content. The Wednesday edition is extended by an hour - coming on air at 11.15am, as opposed to 12.15pm, to carry live coverage of Prime Minister's Questions. much of the Wednesday edition is simulcasted on BBC News as UK opt-out of the main BBC News Channel. The Friday edition broadcasts highlights from proceedings from the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, the Senedd and the Northern Ireland Assembly and is called Politics UK. And during the party conference season, special additional editions are aired to provide live coverage of the leader's speeches. These editions can air at other times of the day, depending on the timing of those leadership speeches.
