Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.
The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.
Today that deal has been broken by the USA.
The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Donald Trump is going to impose 10% tarrifs on the UK unless we agree to let him invade Greenland. I condemn all those who have enabled him, particularly those who told Congress to sanction the UK.

A president who threatens allies is not a partner, he is a risk. Tariffs batter supply chains, wages and investment, and Trump will aim them at any democracy that resists. Britain should deepen European cooperation, not bet on Washington’s mood swings.

The USA does trade with Iran.
"U.S. goods and services trade with Iran totaled an estimated $838.4 million in 2024, up 3.4 percent ($27.2 million) from 2023." (US gov trade)
Is he going to slap a tariff on himself?

.@NadhimZahawi previously said he'd be "frightened to live in a country" run by @NigelFarage.
But, to be fair, that was before he was sacked as Tory chair for failing to declare a serious HMRC investigation into his tax affairs.
