I watch pretty much everyday - wish it was still on a Friday - one of the few places where you can find sane political argument without the "gotcha" questions of all the other programs.

When it's Jo Coburn it's 10/10

Worth a look, but check other sources as well.

When did Theresa May appear in 75 episodes? Sometimes it's very good, sometimes it's very bad. Depends on the presenter, the panel etc. Make your own mind up about it being partisan or not, we have multiple sources for news, this is one of several I use. It's high brow, but still the best on offer. They need different voices, there are smaller parties which are generally ignored.
Best consistent politics show in the UK
SN197319 June 2023
Avid watcher of Politics Live. Jo Coburn is a political journalist of the highest calibre, she is an excellent and fair facilitator with real political credibility when she needs to intervene. Far better than the impossible to follow Peston and the sound bites that is Question Time.
The format is a balanced panel of commentators and MPs from across the spectrum. They deal with topical issues where policy positions are challenged and debated. The pre and post debate around PM Questions on a Wednesday is a particularly good watch. A jewel in the BBC political offer and accessible to viewers in a way that many other shows aren't.
