BBC Question Time tonight coming from Belfast - here’s who’s on the panel

As a direct result of Covid-19 there will be no physical audience in the studio but host Fiona Bruce will be joined by a virtual audience comprising of people from all over Northern Ireland.

The panel includes Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Brandon Lewis; Shadow Secretary of State, Louise Haigh; Politics Professor, Anand Menon, First Minister Arlene Foster and deputy First Minister, Michelle O’Neill.

It’s unclear whether Arlene Foster and Michelle O’Neill will be in the studio together or if one or both will take part in the debate remotely.

Brexit and Covid-19 are the two topics that will dominate.

There has been significant disruption to trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain since the United Kingdom left the European Union at the end of December.

The way in which businesses trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland has changed greatly leading to some parcel couriers and haulage businesses to pause transporting goods.

It will be interesting to see how Northern Ireland Secretary, Brandon Lewis, performs given some of his recent comments when he denied the existence of a border in the Irish Sea and he also blamed the disruption to trade on the Coronavirus.

BBC Question Time will air on BBC One NI at 11:15pm and BBC One at 10.45pm.
