Anybody else watching QT at the moment? Fiona Bruce has just asked the mainly Tory audience for a show of hands of they wanted a general election , the majority have said yes. Also the audience has clapped Jess Phillips more than the Tory minister who is present.

Thank you 62Granny, I have just started watching from the beginning. Hopefully there will be some polls on whether we should have and election to push it home to the Conservatives.

Talking to my daughter earlier we both felt there was a lot to admire about Jess Phillips.

That was quite incredible. Tory Cheltenham, and audience selected to match- and they all but about 3 felt a GE is now the only solution, and that Keir Starmer would be very electable.

I thought Graham Stewart looked like he had drawn the short straw, agreeing to be on. He looked dejected and sad, what could he say really? At least he had the courage to go on the show, bet no one else from the cabinet would.

Rachel Johnson obviously likes the sound of her own voice, but didn’t throw any useful insights into her brother’s future plans.

Jess Phillips said what you would expect her to say.

I thought the Tony chap talked a lot of sense, as did Camilla whoever.

Calendargirl:

This is lifted from the BBC website:-

“The panel will include Minister of State for Climate Graham Stuart MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding Jess Phillips MP, the Director General of the Confederation of British Industry Tony Danker and Camilla Cavendish, former Director of Policy for Prime Minister David Cameron. Rachel Johnson, columnist, broadcaster and sister of former PM Boris Johnson, has replaced Cornelia Parker in the earlier line-up.”

Hope that helps, although the teacher in me would like to add a few commas to the first three lines to help readers to make sense of this information!! ?
