That was a mess. The host couldn't control them at all. The last part with the SNP chap, in the midst of answering one question (and credit where its due he was answering clearly and fobbing off interruptions) and she butt's in with another question, then cuts off as out of time.

The Welsh chap always comes across well, the SNP chap seemed pretty switched on (despite the continuous indy ref stuff). The rest though, childish tts.

I wonder if her old school is proud of how she's turned out.

I think we can all agree the aspect most apparent from tonight's tedious debate is that Emma is a hot babe

Like a brainier and younger Stevie Nicks.

Angela Rayner is the best advert for voting Tory I have seen. Rude arrogant and brainless!
Quite the nasty piece of work isn’t she.

is it wrong to say I secretly enjoyed it.
All the real hatred for each other and contempt from the electorate shone through.
Masks slipped and it seemed all too real and a bit different to the forced nicety niceness that was on some other programmes

Still wish there were far fewer of these overlong and self indulgent programmes though

What a shower. Rayner plain nasty and ill-educated, Tory boy Jenrick clueless, Farage his usual odious self, Swinson predictably hysterical and the SNP chap Yousaf unconvincing. Only Bartley and Price had any credibility IMO.

Angela crayons just made me chuckle so loud my wife woke up. That's her new name from now on. Brilliant.

I couldn't watch BBCQT for the under 30's last night.

Firstly it's ageist and secondly it's embarrassing the BBC aren't even trying to hide their bias any more towards Labour.

That was great fun.

All of the panel were very representative of their parties, and Emma Barnett is a total megababe.

“Will you nationalise sausages?”

hehe

I do think it was the best of the lot. Can't agree re the Emmabeast though.

Why do you think Farage is odious?

Maybe if politicians answered the question that they were asked it wouldn't ne necessary to interrupt them to try to keep them on track.
Well maybe, but only a stupid politician will answer 100% honestly, and only a wide-eyed idealist would demand it.

Evasiveness, bluster and waffle is a part and parcel of politics.
It shouldn't be. If an interviewer asks a question, no-one wants to hear a pre prepared speech, lets have an answer.

Where do I start? Try self-serving, charlatan, racist.

I know why I no longer watch question time. My increased blood pressure and resulting mental health deterioration, just does not make it a worthwhile use of time, it provides no useful insight that I could not get from the inside of a table tennis ball. What an absolute bunch of mendacious, deceitful, supercilious morally questionable, unpleasant, smirking, talking heads.

Angela Rayner, A genuine visceral dislike of her l know it all, window licker smug, meretricious statements. It was the Tor-rays and Awe-stare-ray-tay what did it. I am quite envious of how far repeating a slogan over and over again, has managed to take her. They are even considering her as a Labour leader. If we think Corbyn was bad. She is so thick a gravitational black hole forms when she speaks. Solidarity Comrade, or is that solid-hilarity in her case.

Welsh non-entity, green party co-non-entity, SNP who ? Virtue signalling promise all, know everything, do nothings. Devolution was a Blair inspired money pit. SNP are glorified county councillors, like Plait your Camry.

Utterly pointless no name brand Conservative. Just fast forwarded when he spoke. I get more sense out of my pet gerbil. We get the representation we deserve.

Farage, becoming an irrelevance, was a convenient point of virtue signalling pile-on for the rest of the morally bankrupt, no skin in the game shysters.

Jo Swinson voice has the ability to be used as a crowd control measure and increases in high pitched outrage at every possible opportunity, worst kind of political opportunist, has less direction than a wind vane in a hurricane. I am quite looking forward to her losing her seat.

Emma Barnet did a decent job of controlling the political toddler play group.

As a political debate I agree. But, come on, as pure entertainment it was quite humorous!

Yeah, he's the worst - not provable, but the worst obviously - whereas overt racists & bigots like Abbott get a free ride by many.

I've just watched it on catch up. My overriding impression of this entertaining, but pointless format is regarding Angela "Granny at 37" Rayner.
My word. What an unpleasant, rude and dimwitted person she is.
You can just see her hatred of anyone who she thinks is a bit posh glowing inside her, perhaps fuelled by her own brash Northern upbringing. Truly a poster girl for the Labour Party of today.
Oh yes, and capable of faux snowflake indignation too: "did you just call me a loony, Robert? That's offensive!"

I grew up where that clown is from, lots of family in the area she represents. Most people from that area are not like her, she is pond life and the pain in the arse gobste that ruined many a school lesson for the other kids who were trying to learn and move up in life.

To see her now as a senior Labour party talking head is outrageous.
