Question Time Tonight: Kettering panel
Fiona Bruce will chair the flagship topical debate show in Kettering. The panel named for the evening includes:
• Stephen Doughty — Labour MP for Cardiff and Penarth and Minister of State for Europe, North America and UK Overseas Territories.
• Sir James Cleverly — Conservative MP with previous cabinet experience and current shadow housing responsibilities under the party leadership referenced in the listings.
• Shashank Joshi — identified as a defence editor and a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and a research associate at the Changing Character of War Programme at Oxford University.
• George Monbiot — described as an environmental and political activist and an author.
• Annabel Denham — listed as a senior political commentator.
Immediate reactions and notable points
Notably, the evening’s bill carries no Green Party representative, a detail highlighted in pre-show listings. Stephen Doughty’s scheduled appearance is noted alongside recent government announcements referenced in the programme background: listings link his participation to a government decision to send additional Typhoon fighter jets and related defence equipment to Qatar.
The format remains consistent with the programme’s long-established approach: panellists first hear questions when they are posed by the audience and are not forewarned. That live-audience dynamic is central to how exchanges are framed on the night.
Quick context
The show is described as an hour-long topical debate recorded in Kettering and transmitted later, with streaming and transmission times varying between listings. The first instant panellist reaction typically comes only when audience questions are raised during the recording.

Viewers should note the differing published schedules: one listing shows streaming at 8: 00pm ET and transmission after the 10: 00pm ET news at 10: 40pm ET; another shows streaming from 9: 00pm ET and an on-air start after the 10: 00pm ET news.
