I saw the Question Time highlights on Newsnight last night.
May fights back the commentators tells us. Emily Maitlis then allowed Boris Johnston to ramble on incoherently for a full ten minutes though at least she hits back at one point telling him “you demine the office of foreign secretary don’t you Boris Johnston, people are starting to talk about whether you will keep your job after the election………………” which actually manages to silence Boris for a few seconds.
Then Ian Lavery from Labour got three and a half minutes!
The most notable aspect however was that May was allowed to set the Question Time format. May would not appear next to Corbyn. So we had the bizarre spectacle of the Question time panel (May and Corbyn) appearing separately.
She’s hopeless.
