Looking forward to #bbcqt – on BBC1 at 2235. #holdingthecamera pic.twitter.com/i2dNTPjOGr

And her colleague Christine Jardine drops a pretty heavy hint about Jo’s future intentions…

BBC website has confirmed that Jo has said on QT (which is recorded) will be standing for leader
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48468251
Totally called it in my comments on the Ed Davey thread earlier. :))
Two excellent candidates (unlike the Tories’ 11 awful ones and one who is OK but can never win). All of a sudden, this is a good time to be a LibDem! I just say to both candidates – and their supporters – don’t blow it for us all by going negative.
Jo was superb on QT this evening, and it was great that she intends to stand. I’d rejoin if that comes to pass 🙂
@JohnMcl why don’t you rejoin now and then you can vote for her?? You can actually be part of her campaign. Same goes for anyone else: you will get a vote in this election if you join the party before 7 June. So, to all those in LDV who broadly support us but are not members: we’ve just had a superb national election result, our membership is surging, we are *leading* in the latest opinion poll, and we now have a leadership election with 2 great candidates and you can help us pick the best one if you join now. What are you waiting for?? https://www.libdems.org.uk/
John – surly better to rejoin now (or before Friday 7th June) so that you can vote for Jo as the new leader?
Jo played a blinder on QT last night and got a good response from.the audience. There was just a different atmosphere post the Euro election triumph.
Question Time on 13/6/19 is from Brecon.
There is no Liberal Democrat on the panel.
