Question Time 25th March
Question Time this week comes from Glasgow, home of the Red Clydeside socialist movement and not home to a Tory MP since 1982.
On the panel we have Chief Secretary Treasury and Unite member Liam Byrne MP, the Conservative Shadow Minister for Communities Baroness Warsi, the Liberal Democrat communities spokesman Julia Goldsworthy MP, the First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond and businessman Sir Martin Sorrell.
Liam Byrne is a late replacement for Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy who has pulled out – just possibly because last time he did something significant in Glasgow it was attending a Labour Party fundraising dinner with Gordoom and Steven Purcell, who then mysteriously resigned in a cocaine and financial scandal which has oddly not gained the prominence the story deserves.
For those who wish to take part in the Biased-BBC Buzzword Bingo, we will be playing by the “Blatantly Political Budget Rules” meaning that anyone with “Spending Up“, “Taxes Up” and “Borrowing Up” on a diagonal line will win Greece, which is in much better shape than us now. Please note that for the duration of this game, living in Belize will result in your tax status being randomly targeted.
At the helm of the ship once again TheEye and David Mosque will be scanning the horizon for icebergs, and we look forward to the pleasure of your company at 10:30pm UK time.
Byrne again…. No… I couldn’t. I couldn’t possibly insinuate bias. You know me, I love the Beeb 😉

Liam ‘cappuccino’ Byrne really was out of his depth.
He trotted out the same bland lines about protecting front line services, while at the same time promising to out-do Thatcher in terms of public spending cuts. Pretending to himself that these two statements match up is one thing, but to take every Scotsperson watching for fools is another.
When will Labour wake up and realise that simply saying, ‘those tories are evil’ and ‘1980s’ isn’t enough anymore? Some of us new voters weren’t even born until 1989, and frankly his whining about 30+ years ago means absolutely nothing to me.
