The odd thing about Question Time woman: she got her Brexit. Got the cull on immigration she is desperate for, and a hard right Tory Govt to enact it. Why is she so angry? What more does she want?
'Word/quote wall' responses to this include:

Mass deportations
Public hangings
Fury
'Project'
Final solution
War
Closed borders
Never be happy
Just the beginning
All white Britain
Wants blood
Frustration
LGBTQ+
Disabled
Foreigners

And many mentions of 'Facism'
She is a Tommy fan. May have been on QT in May 2019 too. This is a serious, SERIOUS issue for the BBC and the production company.

This should be the endgame for @bbcquestiontime without an unlikely and very plausible explainer.
@bbcquestiontime Important research. Thank you all. I am going to write a formal letter to the BBC asking for their urgent comments, and any potential justifications they may have. This appears wholly unacceptable. I will publish the letter on Monday. Anyone with further evidence, pls contact me.
@bbcquestiontime Many thanks for all the viewpoints expressed in these threads. I have learned a lot about how people are feeling & the worries they have. Clearly, the direction our politics and society is headed, is of significant concern.

Right. As we slough off the excesses of the holiday season, here are my five 'known unknowns' about the coming #Brexit negotiation....

First up: Will Boris listen to business? 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
.@BorisJohnson is, after all, the PM who (as my colleague @JamesCrisp6 revealed) memorably replied 'f*** business' when asked in June 2018 why fears of industry were not being given more consideration in Brexit...it was quite a statement, but it points to a key question. /2
@BorisJohnson @JamesCrisp6 Is the Boris Johnson who quit over the Chequers Deal and the inexorable slide to the EU's single market for goods, going to put his money where his mouth is - or was? /3

I have been an #NHS consultant cancer specialist for 15 years. If you care about the future of the #NHS then you shouldn’t be voting for a Tory government led by Boris Johnson. This thread explains why #GE2019
A Boris Johnson government would be the most right wing government in our history, far surpassing Thatcher’s governments. His cabinet is full of libertarians and Conservative nationalists. The idea that they are One Nation Tories is nonsense and laughable
The underlying ideology of Johnson and his ERG colleagues is fundamentally Thatcherite in nature. They believe in deregulated free market economics, low taxes, a small state, and erosion of workers rights. All this will be facilitated by a hard #Brexit or no deal Brexit

Never a good word
But didn't it mean at least considered?

Now look, or don't
Like a mirror in a sewer.
Don't look.

Go in the reverse direction to find anything preferable to their half-digested political regurgitate.

Created on the fly.
For vanity.
A hideous London attack.
Two wonderful brilliant students dead.

A time to reflect.

But no.
⏺ Play instead kneejerk politics with the death of students.

Instead of calm considered judicial review of a process they broke.

Did they think we wouldn't notice?
⏺Preparing to sell off the NHS to get their desperately yearned for US trade deal.
And why? We already have 30+ trade deals with the US.

The only thing we don't have is drug injected meat.

Instead of calm, considered investment in the sort of health care most Americans want.

#Brexit's 'nightmare alley' from 100 miles high. A 'house of horrors' story with a happy ending? But only if we vote for an end to the 'biggest heist in history'! 1/
Cameron launched his cunning plan (Bruges 2013) which only half worked? Spoiler! A cautionary tale, never to be followed! being nothing to do with improved welfare for the vast majority of Brits. 2/
Cam's plan was to kill off the Tories' @LibDems coalition partner, by secretly shafting them, while 'doing for' UKIP with the same bullet! Only the first bit worked? 3/

SO in @BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea news it emerges that Karen Wheeler, the civil servant trying to manage the circus is leaving. She had a hard job and people who worked with her said she was a valiant straight-talker. Which is valuable in a world.../1
@BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea ....of constant delay and obfuscation by politicians. Time and again, as I reported, meetings of the Border Delivery Group got cancelled because the wretched cabinet couldn't agree on them. /2
@BorderIrish @BorderIrishSea And when NI business groups did finally get engagement, there was admirable clarity, despite all the wishful-thinking and head-in-the-sandism of the politicians. /3

1) @Owenjones84 is complaining that he's being "yelled at" over his comments during a piece on Arron Banks being referred to National Crime Agency for possible illegal #Brexit funding.

Judge for yourself

here's his defense:
@OwenJones84 2) here is the clip

He laughs off the impact of Twitter and says it's "ludicrous" that people were influenced.

You can judge if the viewer would glean from this "but of course social media campaigns, including Vote Leave ones, *do* influence people"

@OwenJones84 3) he also widens the issue from the focused one of: "did £8M of potentially Russian money influence the Ref?" to the wider issue of "historical big money in politics has always been an issue"

Again you can judge if this is useful in the current context
