So is the health minister busy, or avoiding scrutiny?

fk me this is dire.

Who's the lawyer?

When they say "founder of The Big Issue", is he currently selling it? wtf is happening with his cuffs, let alone the bs he's spouting.

Zahawi's a cretin. Ashworth worse.

Paper lady has said barely anything.

I think I'm going back to Waking The Dead.

I tuned in late but it looks like the lawyer is showing the rest of them up.

It's worth watching to remind myself what a feckin arsewipe Ashworth is.

Turning it off now. But come on BBC... Is this the best panel you can get? If so, kill it. Quickly.

Peaks head around corner.

I see they let some drivelling homeless types in to keep warm in place of a panel.

I flicked back to see Ashworth.
It's like he just does the same thing every time he is on

I’m only here to see if Katya Adler is on newscast now that the EU negotiations are about to kick off again.

I hope I've not distracted your minds from Katya, but I thought the woman with a good gene pool made a very valid point about the difference between 2010 austerity and real austerity.

Nerdy guy in audience....words to the effect of.....'I think the third runway should go ahead because by the time it's finished, technology will have moved on and we'll have cleaner electric planes'.

I'd like to see the size of the battery (and know how long it would take to charge) that'll have the kWh (or even MWh) to provide sufficient thrust to get a fully loaded airliner out of LHW, over the pond and into JFK. I really would.

My TV is lucky to have survived that issue of QT.

What a load of unadulterated BBC biased bks.

If I heard the word "austerity" once it was used 50 times - a proper government bashing session ably enabled by comrade Bruce.

One day someone will point out to these cretins that the definition of austerity (as practised by the Greeks) is when Government actually cuts the overall amount of money it spends (20% in the Greek example).

Reasonably likely that 'electric' planes would actually be powered by hydrogen, or would be hybrid rather than relying on lithium batteries to power an entire flight. We're certainly going to see cleaner planes developed.

I thought "austerity" was spending less than you got in taxes. What any normal person would call "saving", or "paying off an overdraft".

However you define it, we've never been anywhere near it, its just a political st-stick & the problem with that is that it stifles any proper debate as to how best to deploy the resources that we have

Everyone seems to forget that the monumental fk up caused by the banks and abetted by Gordons disaster area of a government is what kicked off all this nasty austerity. Yet it’s all down to those nasty tories. rolleyes

Most of the cretins on QT wouldn't understand what a structural deficit was if it smacked them round the head.
