Question Time LiveBlog 12th January 2012


Welcome back to the Biased-BBC Question Time Live-Chat! We resume after the Christmas break with a classic line-up of typical BBC fodder.

Tonight Question Time comes from London.

David Dimbleby is joined by Secretary of State for Transport Justine Greening, Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander, Deputy First Minister for Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, Minister for Pompous Smugness Paddy Ashdown and editor and broadcaster Kelvin MacKenzie.

This week sees your usual regular Moderators line-up of David Vance and David Mosque. TheEye is back permanently as of tonight and is looking forward to getting back into the fray.

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

Question Time tonight comes from Stoke-On-Trent.

On the panel Conservative PPS to the Defence Secretary Claire Perry, Labour MP Tristram Hunt, black part-time judge Constance Briscoe, Chief Executive of Next Lord Simon Wolfson (who takes the Conservative whip) and nutty race-baiter Mehdi Hasan.

It’s been a long time since the panel has been so spectacularly unspectacular. Honestly, you wouldn’t recognise a single one of them if they stood next to you on the Tube.

Today is General Election day in Gibraltar so TheEye has been hobbling around on crutches wearing a rosette all day. I will try to join the chat Moderation panel from the count via the BatPhone but no promises as I’m moderating a similar chat on the Gib results at the same time. Busy busy busy. And not in a good way.

David Vance and David Mosque are Duty Moderating Heroes for yet another evening…

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

Question Time tonight comes from Bath in Somerset.

David Dimbleby is joined by the splendid Daniel Hannan MEP, Chris Huhne (who may or may not be driving there; the CPS can’t decide), a person called Liz Kendall who is apparently Shadow Minister for Old People, the Sainsbury’s CEO Justin King and notorious self-publicist and Wikipedia front-man Jimmy Wales.

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

QUESTION TIME LIVEBLOG 17TH NOVEMBER 2011


Well, Question Time comes from the vowelly-challenged Aberystwyth and on the panel we have Grant Shapps, Chris Bryant, Elin Jones, Will Hutton and Sir Simon Jenkins. Regardless of that line up of dross, I am sure we will all gave a good time so come along, bring a bottle (or more, I fear you may need it!) and join the good natured banter. I’m hoping ASE and David Mosque will be able to join in – see you all in an hour!

Question Time tonight comes from Newcastle upon Tyne.

On the panel we have Nadine Dorries,  the Sec of State for Scotland and LibDem Michael Moore, the Shadow Chief Sec to the Treasury Rachel Reeves, neurobiologist Professor Colin Blakemore and Stephen Pollard, editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

Could be an interesting one this week.

TheEye is able to join the Two Davids…Vance and (hopefully) Mosque…in the Moderators balcony tonight, so we all look forward to seeing you at 10:30pm!

Question Time tonight comes from Westminster Hall.

On the panel tonight we have Home Secretary Theresa May, Ed “Blinky” Balls, sanctimonious old bat Shirley Williams, Peter Hitchens and vegan, ‘poet’, Green Party nutter and Animal Liberation Front terrorist supporting Benjamin Zephaniah.

Nice.

TheEye is able to join the Two Davids…Vance and Mosque…in the Moderators balcony tonight, so we all look forward to seeing you at 10:30pm!

Question Time tonight comes from Winchester.

David Dimbleby is joined by Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Iain Duncan Smith – who after the EU referendum rebellion declared yesterday that he will not vote against his Eurosceptic principles again.

We also have ex-GMTV presenter, permanent feature on Guido’s political totty reports and occasional Labour politician Gloria De Piero, Deputy Leader of the Liberals in Scotland Jo Swinson (oddly an absentee from those same totty lists), UKIP leader Nigel Farage and Julian Fellowes, As Baron Fellowes of West Stafford he takes the Conservative whip in the Lords.

Two Tories on the same panel? Surely a booking mix-up? Heads will roll.

TheEye can’t be here tonight so will leave you to the tender Moderating mercies of David Vance and David Mosque.

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

Question Time tonight comes from Glasgow.

David Dimbleby is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a rebellious Conservative with absolutely no connection to Glasgow at all, LibDem MP Alistair Carmichael (who dropped out of Glasgow Uni so a tenuous connection at least), local Labour MP Margaret Curran, the SNPs Education Minister Mike Russell, journalist Cristina Odone and a Scottish actor called Brian Cox.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, eh? You might as well scrawl Ambush on the front of the desk.

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

Question Time tonight comes from London and features a panel so dreadful it will make your eyes bleed.

On the panel we have Andrew Lansley, Red Ken Livingstone, former chief press spokesman for the Liberals Mark Littlewood, NHS-focussed ‘comedian’ Phil Hammond and deputy editor of the Evening Standard Sarah Sands.

TheEye is away again tonight, so leaves you in the hands of the Two Davids…Vance and Mosque in the moderator seats.

Play nicely!
