Unsurprisingly, my view is totally at odds with yours. James Cleverly came across as someone who is toeing the party line and just saying what he has been told to say.
People's attitudes to the individual panellists are going to be down to whether they agree with them or not. But the worst by far was that Reckless bloke. he would have been more at home in a school debating society.

The sad thing is there still seem to be people around who are expecting £350,000,000 to be spent on the NHS, and are wondering why it hasn't happened yet......
You will not be able to 'browbeat' the opposition with facts, truth and logic......

Is that your opinion? It certainly isn't mine.

It seems to be the popular opinion of those who like to shout on Twitter and internet forums.
I think it's the most balanced news source in the UK.

I was a big fan of QT but it lacks something which is amazing when you consider what's happening or not happening depending upon ones view, last high Mr Cleverly is wheeled out as a safe pair of hands and sure to completely toe the line for who ever is the Tory leader at that moment, Mr Reckless for the flat earth society was surprisingly sensible as was the Labour guy but the stand out panellist was Gina Miller again irrespective of your views on Brixit she has almost singlehanded ensured that the Political class act within the bounds of the law

Firstly, it still hasn't happened yet.
Secondly, it's not £350million per week purely on the NHS, which is what people were led to believe..
Thirdly, will it ever happen?

The thread is about Question Time, which last night was mainly about BREXIT - Quelle Surprise! You don't have to read it.!
It's bizarre anyone could argue against it. It's simply the truth.
It's the major difference of opinion in the leave campaign. I've just finishing reading Cameron's autobiography which simply confirmed what I'd witnessed.
The new economic liberalism of Raab, Truss, Gove etc.. relies on cheap foreign labour, but they needed to leave to EU with their pesky laws on workers rights.
Their cynicism was to let Farage freak out everyone about immigration (and if not keep quiet) make some vague statements about taking back control of our borders.
Added to that, they needed a proven electable "leader" who whilst being pro-immigration and freedom of movement will go along with anything to be PM.
To somehow glue this together, they get in a weird disaster spin doctor who ends up making Boris break the law.
It's a fascinating cluster**** to observe. The only analogy I can think of is the Chuckle Brothers do the Russian Revolution.
Meanwhile their "supporters" (really ?) blame Gina Miller and the Supreme Court.
Completely played.
Here's a much better analogy.

I think our political system is often summed up by the hardly everyday speech thats used and associated words. It’s deliciously ironic. Brexit has been full of nouns where a far clearer, plainer word would have sufficed. Instead, we all have to reach for the dictionary to understand a word last used in the Canterbury Tales...when for example, ‘knobhead’ would’ve done
