The leaders of Scotland's largest parties at Westminster will go face-off in the first General Election debate next week, before Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer go head-to-head.
On Monday, John Swinney, Douglas Ross, Alex Cole-Hamilton and Anas Sarwar will take part in a 90-minute debate with one-another, hosted by STV political editor Colin Mackay.
It's the first of two debates on the channel next week as the Prime Minister faces off against the leader of the Labour Party on Tuesday.
Linda Grimes Douglas, head of news and current affairs at STV, said: “Ahead of major votes like the forthcoming General Election, we know many viewers value having the opportunity to hear political leaders set out their plans for the country and debate the issues that matter most to the electorate.
“STV is pleased to be broadcasting the first leaders’ debate of the election campaign. An in-depth and robust head-to-head, it will likely set the agenda for the coming weeks in Scotland.”
The live TV debate on Tuesday will be the first between the leaders of the UK's two main parties, though it may also be the penultimate with Labour HQ signaling that Sir Keir would only take part in two live debates.
The Tories have asked Sir Keir to take part in a record six debates.
