Question Time
David Dimbleby chairs a debate from London, including Defence Secretary Liam Fox, Norman Lamb MP (replacing Charles Kennedy – did the LDs want someone who voted yes to student loans?), Sadiq Khan MP, Aaron Porter (NUS) and Janet Daley (Telegraph rent-a-gob).

This Week
Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo are joined by former MP James Purnell to discuss political and parliamentary developments, with Heather Mills, Sarfraz Manzoor.

Heather Mills? WTF?

jswift909 · 09/12/10 - 21:51

Good line-up. Always good to have a rent-a-gob

Apart from the obvious topic, I wonder what else will be discussed.

stripedcat · 09/12/10 - 21:51

Expect the student tuition fees debate to cover at least a third of QT tonight. I bet Aaron Porter will forget that Labour actually introduced tuition fees in the first place, because it is all The Evil Tories TM's fault

.

Aaron Porter will get a good kicking from Janet Daley.

Best to have M.P.s whose constituents will be affected by the changes, unlike Kennedy's.

I think Aaron Porter's time leading the NUS is close to an end

To his credit he is utterly sincere and actually believes in all that scripted drivel that he spouts.

[Deleted User] · 09/12/10 - 21:58

Aaron Porter? Oh dear god. This guy is an irritant. Janet Daley ditto. Don't know too much about Lamb, and Khan is just a silly E Miliband mouthpiece. I'm not a fan of Liam Fox either. All in all not a good line up. And Heather Mills for This Week - who told her that she should come out from obscurity?

Who thought that was a good idea?

This Week used to be a "must watch" for me but it is getting rather silly now. What on earth can Heather Mills contribute to a programme about this week's events?

I know, I tend to flick channels when it's on now, some of the guests have been a joke.

DuckSeason · 09/12/10 - 22:09

Aaron Porter? Expect some shouty, socialist guff while he gets riveting applause from youngsters in the audience, then afterwards leaves to negotiate his safe Labour seat in the North in time for the next election.

So true!

Aneechik · 09/12/10 - 22:13

I really hope they talk about something other than tuition fees.

spoonfulofsense · 09/12/10 - 22:16

Prediction,

There will several young people who will complain about making Unis unaffordable for the lower classes, despite being upper-middle class.

Happened last week, people who wouldn't look out of place in a David Cameron Bullingdon Club photo pretending to give a cr*p about the poor when in reality they just don't want to pay more ven though they can afford it.

Don't bank on it.

Is that because Labour have selected him to contest Phil Woolas' former seat?

Don't think he'll get an easy ride from the students....there's a campain on facebook by students to get rid of him after he went on national tv and described student actions as "absolutely despicable" and called students "an utter disgrace".
