I think she handled herself very well last night, clear answers, but the audience weren't happy with the answers, obviously.

It was Hackney, VERY left wing.

Isn’t Hackney the home territory of the seldom seen Abbotpotomus?

Suella Braverman is my local MP and I've met her a couple of times. She is a very pleasant lady, ultra loyal to Boris, and very much follows the party line. I thought she stood up rather well to the hostile audience. The young chap at the end, for example, was literally yelling in rage, demanding Boris' resignation, but Ms. Braverman stuck to her guns.

Oh, and I thought Geoff Norcott was, as ever, very measured and fair. I completely disagree with the poster above who was rude about him.

I wanted to see what Seb contributed. I didn't stay long, therefore.

Indeed. Nice bloke, I thought, but honestly what are they thinking having a racing driver on the panel? Surely the audience provides the non-expert input, not the panellists?

Interesting panel though. Are we going to have other sports persons in future? Please don't say Gary Lineker...

Joey Barton was on the panel a few years ago.

If my memory serves me correctly, Clarke Carlisle has appeared on QT a number of times as well.

Suella Braverman Conservative Attorney General for England and Wales and Advocate General for Northern Ireland (And a mighty fine looking woman IMO)
Shabana Mahmood The Labour Party National Campaign Coordinator (ditto)
Miatta Fahnbulleh Chief Executive New Economics Foundation (ditto)
Geoff Norcott Right Wing comedian
Sebastian Vettel – yes really

I thought Suella did well under some tough questions.

Shabana stuck to her script.

Miatta spouted her usual utter nonsense. She had the best line of the show "The Government
should stop playing politics". I nearly split my drink.

Geoff made some good points, I thought.

The German racing driver has clearly been taking brevity lessons from that other
master of the short comment, Kinnock N. Hopefully he won't be invited back.

It can take a 'third person', neutral/outsider to reaffirm line of views/arguments or offer foreign perspectives.

Just up the road. How can anyone with even half a brain have voted for her.

I like to hear how others see us. They often have a better view than we do. Unfortunately, Seb is too busy bouncing from one country to another and doesn't get the chance to see the wood for the trees.

He was 100% correct when he said that we voted for Brexit, so it's our bed, we need to lie in it.

Yes, I see that, but he prefaced most of his comments with "well, I am not wery [sic] up to date on zis...."
Given that there's a limited number of panellists, I think that wasting a slot on some foreign sports person is, well, a waste.
Especially when you've already got a neutral in Geoff Norcott there.
That said, if the whole panel was neutral observers, it might be a better show. Let's face it, it could hardly be much worse.

For exactly the same reasons Keith Vaz kept getting voted back in in Leicester East and Weasel Khan keeps getting voted back as Lord Mayor of Londonistan.

It wouldn't surprise me
The self serving self promoting guy would be an ideal guest on the panel

Well that's all you needed to tell us!!

[Roderick Spode]

Oh no, not Alyn Smith. Self obsessed preening narcissist and self appointed person of importance. Became all huffy when the Westminster government didn't consult him over our terms of withdrawal from the EU, as if it's any of his business in the slightest. Also proud winner of 'most hilarious eyebrow in politics' for ten years running.

Very Good! Especially the post office quip and all Conservatives being banned from a general election!

Glad to see they are sticking to the formal PH agenda this evening.

First time I've seen this spoon, the eyebrows wouldn't look out of place on a Mr potato head. Especially loved the "why are you here?" question by the expert in her field Emily Carver. Why is anyone from the SNP is in Liverpool in the first place? We're sick of the useless parish chancellors up here in Scotland without subjecting anyone South of the border to their bile.

Got to be honest looking at linked in for Emily Carver - she really doesn’t have much real world experience
