The Impressive Lesley Riddoch destroys the porcquoin Thomas Kerr of #Reform on tonight's #BbcQuestionTime "what happened to that 350 million pounds you promised the #NHS? Oh, I forgot you were a Tory then, or perhaps you were still at school."
There is a 25% increase in suicide since covid, lady on the panel on ##BbcQuestionTime says, meaning that there is a legitimate concern for mental health to be considered as a pip benefit
She goes on to say. How demeaning pip is whether you can "wash your undercarriage or not"
It has dawned on me. Many ppl who do not know about pip assessment may not know about that ignonominious question.
It's a frightful thing to ask anyone.
What have we become as a society???
Andrew Bowie on #BbcQuestionTime "Astonishing to see over 120 MPs quite prepared to have the whip taken away from them less than one year after being returned to government"
I don't really like Andrew Bowie, but he's got a point here
Man in the goatee beard reminds the audience in #BbcQuestionTime that Farage was the one that ruined the UK'S economy with #Brexit
Simon Clarke "Governing is hard and Reform will let you down badly should they win"..
#ZiaYousuf claimed tonight on
#BbcQuestionTime that 19,000 waited more than three days days in 2023
Yes, that may be true, but that was under a Conservative Government.
Since then then the figures have improved.
Silly Zia.

Sarah Olney says on #BbcQuestionTime when talking about #asylumseekers "can we not demeen ourselves and call them aliens"
Fiona Bruce pins #ZiaYousuf "How will you persuade the French to take back the refugees?*"
She asks this three times on #BBCQuestionTime
And is not answered
* her term
Simon Clarke goes full Putin and says we need to leave the ECHR ON #BbcQuestionTime
He is applauded #ffs
I hate this country
Mr Bigot, in the putrid salmon shirt, talking about Border Force intercepting boats in the English Channel and sending them back to France exemplifies what is wrong with our parsimonious island nation.
The first time, he is invited to speak tonight on #BbcQuestionTime #ZiaYousuf uses the word "British" FIVE TIMES!
Why do you think he does this?
Sarah Olney points out on #BbcQuestionTime that the higher cost of UK borrowing began under Liz Truss' government
"This problem [immigration] isn't going to go away. With #climatechange and emergencies, there's going to be huge population shifts in the decades to come, and the idea that we can be Fortress Britain and Fortress Europe is for the birds. We need international cooperation to deal with what are going to be seismic shifts in a mature way that puts humanity at its heart rather than dumbing down to the most reactionary politics available" - Mark Serwotka #BbcQuestionTime
Plaid lady on #BbcQuestionTime "We should be having those conversations where immigration is good for us."
Young man in zip-up cardie suggests the obvious point of setting up a safe legal route for #asylumseekers in that way the 'gangs' would dissappear
He is applauded.
Conservative panellist trying to defend the wicked nonsense of the #Rwanda plan, on #BBCQUESTIONTIME lies to the audience.
"Even Kier Starmer now is looking at offshore processing in terms of asylum claims"
This goes unchallenged
#BbcQuestionTime closes in high emotion with a lady in the audience shouting "Do something" about #Gaza to Heidi Alexander who, in a wavering voice, says that she is sickened by the seeing the images of the poor #palestinians
As a mother, as a woman, as a human, Heidi is probably very upset
As a politician, she can do fuck all because her boss is no damn good
Ava Evans points out the #Capitalist hell on #BbcQuestionTime when discussing #f35 component parts and jets and #Gaza
"It's not good enough. .. There are many things the government could do for example there are these F 35 jets David Lammy in the Commons just a couple of weeks ago was saying we can't stop the licences on those because we sell components and that would disrupt global supply chains. Can you believe we are talking about global supply chains when 1,000s of children are dying?"
The arse of tonight's #BbcQuestionTime is Tim Montgomery
"Law and Order has to be prioriritised"
""Antisemitic comments made on hate marches in London"
"Fare dodgers on the Tube"
Etc
I am not sure if he has a speech impediment or if he is pissed out of his face.
