Following the cancellation of the Tel Aviv derby due to violence, will we get an in-depth feature from Chris Mason or Henry Zeffman, accusing the, erm, Israeli Police of antisemitism, complete with performative pearl clutching from various politicians?

It's too early to make any predictions about his long term prospects, but it's interesting to note that Zack Polanski is seemingly already rattling a lot of the right people. That's usually an encouraging sign

Dear Laura Kuenssberg
Don't you think it time you gave PROPER coverage to the issue of Reform, Nigel Farage, Nathan Gill & Russian bribery?
You seem reluctant. Just as Fiona Bruce seemed desperate to shut it down when Zack Polanski brought it up on #BBCQT
WHY?

If Chris Mason could manage to take a little break from wiping away the tears of Zia Yusuf & Nigel Farage at some point, maybe he could take the time to also ask them about:
- Tax returns
- Clacton House
- Russian bribery

The speech by Kier Starmer was very well received, and disappointingly, we couldn't actually find any delegates with anything negative to say about it, so now let's go over to Henry Zeffman, who will make up some negative comments from some imaginary delegates instead

That's pretty seismic for British politics
Given Farage's admitted admiration for Putin, I'm sure Laura Kuenssberg is going to be all over this

Just be honest, Vicki Young
You've deliberately tried to dumb down #PoliticsLive, because you've been given a mandate by The BBC to try and appeal to more Reform voters, and you quietly suspect a lot of them are quite thick
