BBC Question Time: open thread
Written by Stephen Tall on 15th May 2008 – 10:18 pm‘Fraid there are no Lib Dem panellists on tonight’s Question Time (broadcast on BBC1 and online from 10.35 pm GMT).
The panel includes Health Secretary Alan Johnson, shadow business, enterprise and regulatory reform secretary Alan Duncan, Plaid Cymru’s spokesperson for health and social services in the Welsh Assembly Helen Mary Jones, broadcaster and journalist Lauren Booth and businessman Simon Woodroffe.
So, if you want to sound-off as you watch, please feel free to use the comments thread.

It’s a good job the Liberal Democrats have no MPs or councillors in Cardiff, isn’t it, otherwise the BBC might be accused of being utterly biased and out of touch.

There’s a piece by that Crick bloke on newsnight which looks to be quite interesting

Crick as a 12 year old trainspotter..why doesn’t that surprise me?

Alan Johnson rightly says raising allowances “avoids a complex bureaucratic nightmare” of credits… But as they’re still Mr Brown’s preferred way of tackling everything, I doubt Mr Johnson’ll be thanked for saying so!

Interesting that apparently to get on the panel now you don’t have to be an elected politician for the area the programme is being broadcast but to be related to someone who is or was an elected politician. Yes last week we had Boris Johnson’s sister on and this week we have Tony Blair’s sister in law

Nebulous has just started on Radio 4. It’s much funnier, and also more politcally acute…

I didn’t watch it, and more than I’d watch any other Labour or Tory party political broadcast. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves.
