What a disappointing panel. I can't stand Layla Moran and it's all going to be about Coronavirus.

Oh No....Layla Moran...what a waste of space. Hateful wee woman or is that womxn

Hancock doing a much better job than Hunt would have done in handling this questioning.

I agree. He is level headed, calm and knowledgeable. Presents very well.

[Tuna]

Very level headed panel tonight..

..on the other hand, from the audience "Coronavirus is caused by both Climate Change AND Brexit - what are the government going to do about it?!"

[markyb_lcy]

Coronavirus caused by brexit?!

I don’t even have any words for how stupid that is

Not watching tonight, too tired. Will get it on catch-up.

That Dr on the panel is highly engaging intelligent practical and able to calmly talk to people at all levels.

Panel also very good and sensible

[colin_p]

Becket is looking very Dark Crystal as is that other prissy lefty woman.

[gooner1]

Is this the same Layla Moran that allegedly slapped her then bf and is now pontificating on bullying?

Ex boyfriend. She has now changed sides.

[Ridgemont]

Layla Moran quoting Harry Potter re Priti Patel.

A serious person for serious times.

I’m glad the subject of cage rattling of overly comfortable civil servants was raised rather just accepting as fact Priti is guilty. I’d put money on there being a case of intransigence in there as much as, or causing what’s gone on.

If you have a job in the real world and refuse to do what you’re told, I’ve no doubt there will be some unpleasantness and home truths before youre disciplined/sacked. That isn’t bullying but pretty sure it could be dressed up as so very easily.

Especially as the civil servants apparently have been using labour to help coordinate the trickle of allegations. Always a good look.

What about the (accusations of) shouting, swearing and belittling? If proved, would those be bullying in your eyes?

As I indicated on the Priti thread in that case Gordon Brown would have had to resign in short order in order to protect his advisers as well as his stationery draw...

Not if you’ve been told to do something and either defiantly or ignorantly failed to do so. I think these people need to step into the world others exist in, perhaps I’m a bit hardened to it working in manufacturing situations but pleasantries on failure are few and far between.
