Welcome to this week's #questionabletime, the thread that tells you everything about tonight's #bbcqt guests Fiona Bruce won't

Things like: that Conservative MP talking about how much she values the environment "Consistently voted against measures to prevent climate change"! 1/

Speaking of Vicky Ford...other highlights of her voting record include:

"Consistently voted against higher taxes on banks"

Why would someone who worked for JPMorgan Chase then Bear Stearns (reputable institutions!) take this position? 🤔 2/

Like most #bbcqt guests Vicky is a product of Oxbridge (Cambridge), though this week's panel have a greater diversity of backgrounds than usual.

It's good to see a representative of nurses, Donna Kinnair, though her 3rd QT appearance in six months raises questions 3/

Is there no other member of the nursing profession the #bbcqt audience could hear from?

Perhaps one who doesn't earn a chief exec's salary like Donna?

We also have a representative from the police, Mike Barton, who we know literally nothing about so won't speculate on! 4/

Next up it's Jon Ashworth, who warmongers will be pleased to hear:

"Voted against investigations into the Iraq war"

"Voted for replacing Trident with a new nuclear weapons system" 5/

Jon seems confused about tax avoidance. Is it good or bad? 🤔

He "Voted a mixture of for and against measures to reduce tax avoidance" - 7 votes for, 6 against

Does he need to keep Labour's corporate funders happy by going easy on them? Sir Keir? 5/

Last up it's Philippa Whitford of the SNP, who, almost unbelievably for a #bbcqt guest, shows up well in terms of her voting record.

Against nuclear renewal, for measures to prevent climate change, for wealth taxes and higher benefits...

Our cynical hearts are mildly soothed😉
