You'll never believe who is missing from the Question Time panel tonight...
Well, Nigel Farage isn't on which makes a nice change of pace. But that wasn't who we were thinking was missing from tonight's episode of the BBC panel show.
Despite dominating the headlines for the last two days there will be no SNP representatives on tonight to argue about Westminster's power grab. Instead, they'll likely be discussed to great length in absentia.
So who do we have instead?
Here's this week's full #bbcqt panel. Join us on Thursday evening on @BBCOne and @bbc5live pic.twitter.com/HRbkXLJXhO

John Mann, the MP for Bassetlaw, will be on representing Labour. He's a hardline Brexiteer so we can definitely expect a reasonable response to the SNP walkout from him.
Journalist Isabel Oakeshott will also be on the panel. She recently caused controversy after revealing that she had been holding onto emails for months that linked Brexit donor Aaron Banks to Russian officials.
Dominic Grive will be on representing the Tories. He's the Remain rebel representing Beaconsfield.
The leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood will be present and no doubt fighting her corner.
And finally, Matthew Wright of Channel 5's The Wright Stuff.
As always David Dimbleby will be hosting as the show kicks of at 10:45PM tonight.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
