Published: 22 August 2016
It’s good news that the two contenders for the Labour leadership have agreed to appear in front of a Question Time audience.
The live programme from Oldham will see David Dimbleby chair the debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith on Thursday 8 September at 9pm on BBC One.
David Dimbleby says: “It’s good news that the two contenders for the Labour leadership have agreed to appear in front of a Question Time audience. As we saw in the EU referendum debates, and the general election debates, there’s nothing like a Question Time audience for discovering and testing different political views.”
It will be available on BBC iPlayer after broadcast. Follow the debate on Twitter and Facebook via #bbcqt @bbcQuestionTime
