Fiona Bruce Question Time

[Lord Tyrion]

That’s the issue though for me Tash, it’s very easy for anyone of us to give any political party a good kicking, how about we discuss/debate the positives in them all. I didn’t watch last night but I’d be more impressed if someone stood up and told us about all the positives the party they support has done.
The whole debate turns in to a bitch fest and childish point scoring and what we end up doing (all of us) is simply try to out “bad” each other.

Wouldn't it be interesting if they ran a special where the panellists could only state positive comments, effectively state their policies without putting the boot in to someone else. Any digs, any jibes and they are asked to leave and their party is left unrepresented. It would be interesting to see what it was like and whether they could actually manage to do it.

Probably last 2 minutes max.

In essence last night, I thought the panel were told a few home truths which they didnt like, or want to hear. That aside, thought the Irish EU vice president spoke very well about a divided country that should ( somehow ) unite. Again Grenfell was discussed with the fire brigade getting a kicking in the sense that woman/boss should she/ shouldn't she have her pension took off her. Also Women mps and the abuse that have been getting.
Mentioned to Missis T that now we have a GE upon us, these hard nosed mps what have played games for 3 1/2 years are now gonna be smiley smiley, am gonna be your new Bessie mate. They had there election faces on last night. I personally think it could be a brutal campaign, one which the country has not seen before

NHS and Grenfell tower ,Twitter comments.
Politicians were a joke talking over each other again .
Thought the MEP cane over very well, but the Lib Dem is really deluded think they will win the GE.

This👍

Its become a mess IMO: FB needs to get a grip and stop the cross chatter. The sound engineers could turn off the interrupter's 'mike'.

This is a good idea just lower the volume on the people not invited to speak by the chair, so they can’t just talk over the one speaking.

Andrew Neil for me he can handle anyone.
Should have got the job instead of FB.

I quite like that idea.
Bruce has been disappointing.

For the first time in decades we actually had a QT audience and panel that seems like a true representation of Scotland/Glasgow.

BTW did you catch the attempt of an apology from Bruce telling the young student she was wrong about the Leave funding scandal.
Claimed she 'miss heard' the reply. Aye right.

Amusing when the Tory panellist said that Johnson cares deeply about Scotland and most of the audience burst out laughing.

I thought she was a bit weird tbh - rather staid and very deliberate and careful with what she said. But I don't think it went down that well with the audience when she stated in a very matter-of-fact way, that when Sturgeon goes to Johnson asking for another Referendum - whenever that might be and whatever the results of any election might indicate - Johnson will say No. No discussion. End of Story. I might suggest that such Westminster/Tory absolutism might not sound great to a large part of a Scottish audience.

He was obviously afraid of meeting DfT

little chance of that Doon is 200 miles further south... i did find it strange he didn't do any Camp as the local MP "at the moment" is a Conservative

No, he is just poo scared of talking to any random Scots, what a woose.

But you're pretty random 🤭

What an awful excuse for a human being that Cleverly is.
Do the Tories constantly put him on QT to make Johnson and Gove look like the caring side of the party.
Not much support shown to the Tories last night in Brighton.

I strangely found myself nodding along to some of what the impressive Brexit woman was saying.

At least they behaved last night , not shouting over everyone else.
Yes the Brexit girl came over very well .
But thought both major party politicians were awful.
Especially Cleverlly , I would not trust him!

As mentioned elsewhere - Cleverly is my favourite Tory fall guy, as I find him utterly and completely useless in addressing any question put to him - and to me it is so obvious how inauthentic, disingenuous and wheedling he is in so much of what he says...

Of course many politicians have similar traits - but for me Cleverly really takes the biscuit. If he's the best the Tories can do to be the face of the Tories...
