The guests have been revealed for the BBC’s flagship weekend politics programme Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg - and it comes a week after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was interviewed on the show.

There will definitely be plenty to talk about - from the mortgage crisis and Covid Inquiry, to world events like what’s happening in Russia. The NHS will also likely be a topic of conversation, as the government is due to reveal its new workforce plan for the NHS sometime next week.

The BBC’s flagship weekend politics programme replaced The Andrew Marr Show which came to an end in 2022. The new format has drawn plenty of attention and high profile guests since launching in September.

The programme is helmed by former BBC Politics Editor Laura Kuenssberg, who stood down from the role in April and was replaced by Chris Mason. Each episode sees the host joined by a rotating carousel of guests who discuss the biggest stories in British politics that week.

Ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss and former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng both appeared as guests - and comedian Joe Lycett made headlines after his satirical appearance on the show’s first episode on 4 September.
