Question Time LiveBlog 10th February 2011

February 10, 2011 at 2:32 pm


Tonight Question Time comes from Bristol, birthplace of failed singer Nik Kershaw, failed comedian Lee Evans and failed lesbian Julie Burchill. It was also the destination of the final Concorde flight.

On the panel tonight we have the dripping wet Francis Maude MP, senile old fool Menzies Campbell MP, expenses fiddler and porno merchant Jacqui Smith, the always-wrong Mehdi Hasan and the only concession to reality on the panel Douglas Murray.

For those playing the Buzzword Bingo we’ll be using the Don’t Pick Up The Soap Rules on a day that you’ll struggle to learn from the BBC that newly convicted fraudster Jim Devine was a Labour MP. Similar points for mention of Chaytor, Illsley, Moran or any of the corrupt Muslim peers when played in conjunction with a Named Party joker card. Votes for prisoners is not in play as it’s too obvious. This week we’re offering a tour around Broadcasting House for any mention of the better than expected manufacturing figures and it’s an instant Bingo win for the first person to call LibDem Council Leaders Rebellion. The usual Thatcher and Ashcroft wildcards are in play, but with a Meryl Streep linked bonus ball.

The LiveBlog will also cover the surreal This Week, with Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo.

David Vance, TheEye and David Mosque will be moderating the abuse here from 10:30pm, so we look forward to seeing you!
