Mark Thompson: BBC Question Time Live Chat

Thursday, 28 May 2009

It's back to the usual time for BBC Question Time today and hence the Live Chat on this blog will start at 10:30pm.

I am really looking forward to tonight's episode which features Caroline Flint, Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan (famous for having torn Gordon Brown a new one!), Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesperson Jo Swinson (go Jo!), Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, UKIP leader Nigel Farage, and French businessman Pierre-Yves Gerbeau.

You can also follow people's comments on Twitter via the #bbcqt hashtag (you can also follow me here on Twitter by the way - I will try to join in the tweets too!).

Liberal Democrat Voice also always have an open thread for BBC Question Time which is usually posted just before the start of the programme.

The chat has now finished for this week. You can see what we said in the re-run below.

We will be back next week, please join us and in the meantime I will be on Twitter during the week if you want to follow me for more political microblogging!

Anonymous said...: Great blog.

Jo Swinson is always impressive (although I'm not a LibDem supporter). She's down-to-earth and feisty.

Dan Hannan was gave his typically meticulously thought-out arguments and refused to allow Flint to get the better of him.

Caroline Flint, typical of New Labour, aggressively talks over everyone. I hope her constituents give her a pasting! Vile cow!; 29 May 2009 at 05:35
