    As much as I don't like McCluskey he'll be 'value for money', Salmond with put up a good fight but I don't expect much from Flint to be fair. Sadly I don't rate her

    I didn't know the Tories had a Minister for the Disabled.

    I'll bet he does a good job.

    She's one of the best interrupters in the business.

    I still remember her being interviewed by Andrew Neil when Ed Milliband promised the price freeze and she was floundering like a fish who had washed up on the beach

    What a boring panel.

    Any questions on R4 seems to be a much better bet for proper political debate these days.

    I was about to say "not her again." She was rather aggressive last time she was on.

    Poor Liverpool. Labour know they can take their vote for granted and the Conservatives know they can never win there, so the city just gets ignored.

    This is the fourth new minister for disabled in 4 years Britain has a new Minister of State for Disabled People - Mark Harper, MP for the Forest of Dean. As he gets to grips with his new brief - the fourth person to do so in this government

    The raving lefties in the audience should have Scouse accents tonight then. No need to bus them in...

    According to the register of interests they do not get paid for being on the Daily Politics
