Which apparently makes Stanley Johnson's wife beating ok.

Looks like some people want to cancel Fiona Bruce.

There has been all this fuss over BBC impartiality regarding Gary Lineker making comments in a private capacity yet last night Question Time had five panel members, one of which was a current Conservative minister and another was an ex Conservative minister and a current Conservative member of the HoLs. So there were effectively two tories on the panel. How is that allowed to happen.

I also think Fiona Bruce is pretty useless at chairing - she continually allows the minister on the show the opportunity for additional comments, to come back on points etc while other panel members are ignored. I came in part way through the show last night but I think Robert Jenrick was allowed three separate opportunities to speak before I'd even heard Richard Madeley utter a single word.

The thing you have to remember about QT is that there is always another Tory. ;)
