Should be fun with I.D.S, the left wing will have a lot of poop thrown at him like he's a UKIP member
She looked very weak and on the defensive when appearing on tv with others in front of one of the schools last week. She will be better prepared tonight for certain.
Tessa Munt - is that some kind of comedy name?
Could be interesting. King's Lynn is right in "UKIP Country" on the Norfolk/Lincolnshire boarder
Shadow Welfare Reform Minister
An oxymoron if ever there was one!
It is probably a disguised Nick Clegg, same amount of letters. The Lib -dems couldn't even form an anagram.:o
Can't keep a job for long with out moving on, wonder if she'll swap seats in the middle of the Episode
I have a different view of him after Harry Enfield's impersonation of him
No doubt Yaqoob will manage to turn any debate on the Trojan horse scandal into an "islamaphobia" whinge fest.
Is that possible? Unless it indicates reforming welfare as far back as possible so that it make claimants more dependent on the Labour Party.
It will be interesting to see how she handles that debate.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the current leader of the Respect party on the panel?

The poor sod ;-)
Although to be fair I cannot keep up with who's in the EU club and who isn't.
When the whole Ukraine situation started, I had to check if there were in the EU or not as I wasn't sure. If I was an MP I think I would be on the news on a daily basis for getting stuff wrong like that
Hislop always good value.
I wonder how much prep and rehearsing IDS will have had in order to disguise his loathsome rotten self. His behind-the-scenes people will be biting their nails till it's over.
As for Chris Bryant - I can't focus on anything he says; the image of him in his y-fronts posing on gaydar.co.uk is seared indelibly on my memory.
IDS was given a bit of a poisoned chalice though. Welfare reform is needed, but there is little he could do that would be seen as fair.
I am the same when Chris Bryant is ever on QT and I can only see that nasty pair of baggy undies
ian Hislop and IDS
Bound to be a corker or two there
For a party with no MPs UKIP is, if anything, overrepresented on Question Time.
