A new kind of politics show

The Daily Politics: News, views, and why it all matters

The BBC launched a brand new politics show on 8 January, coinciding with the first clashes in Prime Minister's Questions of 2003.

The Daily Politics is presented by Andrew Neil and Daisy Sampson on BBC Two every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Andrew and Daisy offer up a daily digest of the stories that are making the news at Westminster and in local areas.

From rubbish collection to war against Iraq - The Daily Politics is there analysing and explaining why these stories count and how they affect people's lives.

The programme is broadcast in the mornings - between 11am and 1pm on Wednesdays and between 11.30 and 12.30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The development is part of the BBC's revamp of its political output which has seen the corporation increase coverage and boost programme funding by £5m.

The revamp is intended to increase the number of people watching and engaging actively with the democratic process.

Big interviews

Every Wednesday on The Daily Politics there is full live coverage of Prime Minister's Questions - as well as coverage of MPs questions to ministers on subjects ranging from health, and education to transport and foreign affairs.

Our political doctor George Osborne solves your problems

Each day Andrew Neil will chair set piece debate with key politicians and commentators.

On Wednesday's he'll be joined by a high profile politician, industry figure or celebrity - for The Big Interview.

And every day members of the public will be encouraged to e-mail or text their opinions to the studio. Roving reporter Laura Kuenssberg will be visiting a local area to find out what issues are filling up MPs' post bags.

Viewers are invited to send in suggestions of local issues for the programme team to investigate. Laura will also want to hear the views of local people on the big stories of the day.

This term, Conservative MP George Osborne will be on hand as an on screen 'Parliamentary Doctor' - to help people get action on the issues they want sorted.
