Public needs to know that tonight's "balanced" Question Time panel consists of:

A Conservative MP
A conservative journalist
A millionaire!
A centrist Labour MP
A highly paid medical director

Read on for full #questionabletime details... 1/

Yes, it's #questionabletime, the weekly thread where we tell you everything about tonight's #bbcqt guests Fiona Bruce won't!

Let's start with Gillian Keegan

Like most Tory MPs she is of wealth. Check out the extensive property portfolio she owns here 2/

theyworkforyou.com/mp/25670/gilli…

Gillian's husband is a CEO

Perhaps that why she:

"Consistently voted against higher taxes on banks"

And

"Voted a mixture of for and against measures to reduce tax avoidance"

Is tax avoidance good or bad? Hmm 🤔 3/

theyworkforyou.com/mp/25670/gilli…

They Work For You also highlight that Keegan "has never rebelled against their party in the current
parliament”

Her constituents must be delighted to have an MP that represents the govt.'s views rather than their own!

But enough on Gillian... /4

Kate Green proved her centrist credentials by resigning from Jeremy Corbyn's cabinet in June 2016 to lead Owen Smith’s heavily-funded Labour leadership challenge

Like many who bitterly undermined Corbyn, she is now on front bench calling for unity... /5

#bbcqt

Kate is a fan of mass destruction

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

"Consistently voted for strengthening the Military Covenant"

And shares Keegan's confusion over tax avoidance - votes for and against /6

Next up it's Camilla Tominey, Associate Editor of the Daily Telegraph in London and a royal correspondent

We will leave it to you to surmise the kind of views a royal correspondent for the most Tory of Tory papers will put forward... /7

Deborah Meaden is well known for appearing on Dragon's Den and is a self-made millionaire

Good luck to her, but very few millionaires articulate the same concerns as ordinary people

Shouldn't they be balanced by a trade unionist when they appear? /8

#bbcqt

Perhaps Layla McCay, as an NHS representative

Don't bet on it

Layla is a member of the elite herself - a director - like virtually every #bbcqt guest we've ever surveyed /9

Apologies for the lack of positives on this thread!

It's the most depressing #bbcqt line-up for a while
