Kettering venue to host BBC Question Time one-hour Keir Starmer resignation special tonight

BBC One's Question Time will broadcast from Kettering tonight as a panel of experts give their views in the wake of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation.

Host Fiona Bruce will chair the flagship topical debate show but this special programme will focus on the latest turbulent week at Westminister.

Viewers can watch the Question Time special broadcast live on BBC1 and the iPlayer, at 8pm tonight (Friday).

A panel of politicians and commentators – yet to be announced – will discuss what the Labour leader standing down means for the country.

The broadcaster used Kettering Leisure Village to record previous episodes of the show in 2022 and 2018 when David Dimbleby was the host.

Watch Question Time tonight (Friday, June 26, 2026) at 8pm.
