Julie Etchingham moderates the first live head-to-head General Election debate between Rishi Sunak - the leader of the Conservative Party - and Keir Starmer - the leader of the Labour Party - in front of a studio audience.

Anushka Asthana invites the leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey, SNP leader John Swinney, Reform UK leader Richard Tice and co-leaders of the Green Party Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay to answer her questions in extended interviews.

Julie Etchingham hosts a debate to which seven parties in the General Election campaign have been invited, ahead of the poll on July 4th. Leaders or senior representatives from the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP, Reform UK, the Green Party and Plaid Cymru will participate.

Tom Bradby presents through-the-night coverage of the battle for Number 10 Downing Street, revealing who will lead the country for the next five years. Tom will be joined in the studio throughout the night by a team of political insider guests, including George Osborne, Ed Balls and Nicola Sturgeon. Also on hand will be Robert Peston, Anushka Asthana and Paul Brand, plus election analysts, Professor Jane Green and Professor Colin Rallings.

It's anyone's guess who will win the most coveted position in UK politics, but whoever it is, they will have to have some staying power to beat the Whig party's Robert Walpole. His tenure at Number 10 ended in 1742 when he resigned after 20 years and 314 days as PM.
