Rishi Sunak clashes with Laura Kuenssberg over inflation<\/h3>\n

Laura Kuenssberg returned to her flagship BBC politics show yesterday following four weeks off due to sad family news.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old\u2019s businessman father Nick Kuenssberg died aged 80 following an illness and Victoria Derbyshire stepped in to present.<\/p>\n

She last appeared on her eponymous programme on October 1 when she interviewed Rishi Sunak at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s show saw her welcome Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, Labour’s John Healey, Arab League Assistant Secretary General Hossam Zaki, Succession star Sarah Snook, broadcaster Piers Morgan, Green co-leader Carla Denyer and former health minister Lord Bethell.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the show she took to X, formerly Twitter, to thank fans for their support during her absence, writing: “Looking forward to being back… thank you very much for all the kind messages in the last few weeks, and to Victoria Derbyshire for holding the fort.”<\/p>\n
