He probably won't get invited to any more QTs.

He was spot on if course.
Name dropping here, but I had more or less the same discussion with Rachael Reeves at a Labour Party do last week.
She and the rest of the opposition are well aware what's going on.

Just what I've been saying about this policy, but far better put. They have absolutely nothing to offer but Culture War.

Genuine question, is the show any better these days with Fiona Bruce still presenting, i had to stop watching when she first took over as the program had descended into some weird BBC trying to be balanced to all points but becoming even more scripted and consequently, an awful watch.

Plenty of people who have defended Lineker have pointed to her obvious Tory bias on QT.
There's no doubt she's a Tory voter, but to be fair to her she's been pretty even handed on the show recently.
Despite this I still think she was a poor choice for it.
Still it could have been Kuennesberg, so small mercies eh.
Edit... Though she did give far too much air time to that total fraud Jenrick last night. Christ that bloke can talk

I don't watch QT but any of you who do is it true that she excused Johnsons Dad putting his wife in hospital with a broken nose as just being a one off incident? Wonder how many times she didn't need hospital treatment after he beat her up

That's half true but the context doesn't make it much better. She interrupted to put forward a story from Johnson's dad's friends that it was a "one off".

His ex wife has always maintained that it wasn't a one off, which Bruce didn't mention.

She also made clear that she wasn’t disputing what was said about him being a wife beater.

So often we seem to follow the example set by the USA, in this case Trump and whatever we can call the party that used to be the Republicans

she said he only did it once refering to him breaking his wife's nose, but it did sound like she was trying to defend him

It's the obsession with bothsidesism that the BBC has developed.

On one side, yes he thumped his wife and hospitalised her.

On the side, he only did it once.

That's the kind of obscene moral vacuum that bothsidesism leads you into.

Giving Fiona Bruce the QT gig is the equivalent to making Jeremy Clarkson (spit!) the 6 o’clock BBC newsreader.

Robin Day must be turning in his grave.

She must be the most left-wing, anti-Brexit, Tory that's ever presented the show!
