\"Nicola<\/p>\n

Welcome to your weekly instalment of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the programme starting at 09:00, former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has had a sit-down interview with the host, saying she feels as though she’s “serving a sentence for a crime I did not commit” after her estranged husband, Peter Murrell, admitted embezzling \u00a3400,000 from the SNP.<\/p>\n

The full interview will be broadcast this morning – and you’ll be able to watch it live at the top of the page. Laura’s also written a piece on the sit down, which you can read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Later in the show, Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden will take questions, as will shadow home secretary Chris Philp.<\/p>\n

And on this week’s panel, we have: Tory MP Jeremy Hunt, Labour MP Rosena Allin-Khan and broadcaster Aasmah Mir<\/p>\n

We won’t be bringing you regular text updates, but you can watch live at the top of the page from 09:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Watch Sturgeon’s full interview on today’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssbergpublished at 08:55 BST 08:55 BST Welcome to your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-613448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
