Rochester and Strood’s MP will appear on the BBC’s top political debating show.

This Thursday Mark Reckless will join Question Time, hosted by David Dimbleby.

He will be on a panel up against five other political figures, including Conservative Party Chairman Grant Shapps and Labour MP Rachel Reeves.

It is broadcasting from Telford this week and starts at 10.45pm.

Mr Reckless will also be speaking at Ukip's Margate conference on Saturday.

The party is launching their big campaign messages over the weekend in the lead-up to the General Election, and leader Nigel Farage will be speaking later in the day.
