@RavinAnend @steverichards14 He's awful too IMO - doesn't listen to answers and just moves to next scripted question and attempted gotcha.

@vonmanstein_43 @steverichards14 Jonathan Dimbleby skillfully and systematically tearing apart Portillo about the poll tax over the best part of an hour was memorable for me.

@ScotFinlayson @Channel4News The comparison with Canada is ill-founded and misleading. The legislation proposed here is quite different.

@PELee1953 @Channel4News I disagree - why can't you strive for both?

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

@mag_worden @Channel4News @doctor_oxford It seemed her argument against the bill was that palliative care needed more money, ignoring the fact that some people would like to be able to make their own choice not to continue with palliative care as they don't see it as addressing their issues and concerns.

@BethRigby @ShonaSomerville @tsueyek @meg_matt1998 The budget is about managing a massive complex economy, people shouldn't just assess it solely on the pounds in their own pocket today.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Why is the BBC still stuffing its news and politics panels with Tory stooges like Tim Montgomerie, Katy Balls and an other Telegraph journalists, out of all proportion to the views of the electorate?

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

#bbcqt Have the BBC got Tim on speed dial or what? Rent a Tory to ensure there's a disproportionate right wing element on any politics/news panel.

He bought the farm for 4.25 m

So put that up your nostrils

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

So either the election will be rigged or the polls - lawsuits either way!

#BBCLauraK Waiting for the change in tone when LK starts schmoozing with Kemi Badenoch...

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

@tammilne61 @RachelReevesMP Sounds like the politics of envy you've got there.

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

@LisasMuffins @BladeoftheS You speak for everyone, how very democratic of you!

[Martin Hackett @Mikasasize5]

@majorchimp @BladeoftheS The Tories are not in power any more, you can relax.

@KevS1973 @jonbir90 They've got buildings in the river along embankment now too. It's changed beyond all recognition.

@donmcgowan @lewis_goodall But if they're affiliated to a Union, I suspect they're partial to a parade.

@donmcgowan @lewis_goodall I hear badgers and I think Harry Hill - just me?
