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.
History
BBC Politics Live was first announced on 12 July 2018 in a statement from the BBC's press office. as the BBC's new lunchtime political programme. The series replaced Daily Politics which ran in the same time-slot for the previous 15 years. In the announcement, the BBC stated that the new series "will offer viewers a fast-moving, conversational show, featuring a blend of political interviews, discussion and video content designed to be shared digitally, ensuring BBC Politics Live connects with the lives of people around the country."
In March 2020, BBC Politics Live broadcasts was suspended by the BBC, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although PMQ's restarted, BBC Politics Live did not as Coburn anchored PMQ's for BBC Newsroom Live, directly from the Commons lobby in Westminster for BBC News which was on air during the pandemic. BBC Politics Live resumed in May 2020 on Wednesdays only with Coburn hosting with guests at home or in the studio two meters away from each other because of UK lockdown rules. After the summer recess, the BBC changed their programming plan by scaling down BBC Politics Live to 4 days a week (Monday to Thursday with the same times as before), with a review programme, BBC Politics UK airing in the timeslot on Fridays.
Since the start of 2023, most of the Wednesday edition of BBC Politics Live is simulcasted on BBC News.
