Daily Politics is a BBC Television programme which aired between 6 January 2003 and 24 July 2018, presented by Andrew Neil and Jo Coburn.

[7] The first show included coverage of the first 12:00 noon session of Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons which later became standard in future.

[12] Daily Politics was broadcast live at noon on weekdays on BBC Two when the House of Commons is sitting, lasting 60 minutes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

On Wednesdays the programme was extended to 90 minutes from 11.30 am and included live coverage and analysis of Prime Minister's Questions.

Anita Anand joined the programme as Jenny Scott's replacement in September 2008 with Jo Coburn presenting on Thursdays.

[14] When the programme returned on 5 September 2011, it was presented by Andrew Neil on Mondays, Jo Coburn on Fridays, and both together on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Other regular contributors to the show included either the BBC's Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg, her deputy John Pienaar or the BBC's Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith – who either helped to review Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday's extended shows or contributed as correspondents for the programme.

Daily Politics was produced at the BBC's Millbank studios near the Palace of Westminster, but despite this convenient location, it was not unknown for MPs and guests to arrive late for their interviews; a social gaffe which Andrew Neil frequently reminded them of on subsequent appearances.

On 4 January 2016, Laura Kuenssberg arranged for Labour MP Stephen Doughty to announce his resignation on the show.

[16] Every Wednesday the programme featured an email competition where viewers answered a question for the chance to win a coveted Daily Politics mug.

The network part of Sunday Politics was presented by Sarah Smith from 4 September 2017 until the final programme on 22 July 2018.

Following the opt-outs the programme returned with a final section called The Week Ahead featuring three political journalists – regularly Janan Ganesh (Financial Times), Isabel Oakeshott (Sunday Times), Helen Lewis (New Statesman) and Nick Watt (The Guardian) who later joined BBC's Newsnight.

[citation needed] On 6 November 2016, Neil presented from Washington with Coburn in London ahead of the 2016 US Presidential Election.

On 23 August 2017, Neil announced he was standing down and that BBC Scotland Editor Sarah Smith would take over as the main presenter.

In addition, each regional segment had topical interviews and discussions, short films and a review of the political week in 60 seconds.

During the run up to the 2010 general election Daily Politics held a series of debates involving members of the incumbent Labour Cabinet and their Conservative and Liberal Democrat equivalents.
