This Reform feels like he has been pulled in from the street accidentally like that classic BBC interview with the taxi driver. Except the taxi driver pulled it off #Bbcqt

Starmer just needs to call out Badenoch as a Climate Change Denier and be done with it. #pmqs

Not sure who is having a more of a car crash tonight on #bbcqt - Reform's James Orrful or the Tories Helen WhatIsSheOnAbout? 😕 Its almost a comedy!

Love Claudia Winkleman! Probably needs to be a little more in control of steering the conversation and dropping in more of her humour. First show is a bit rough around the edges but to be expected as this is her first crack at this!

Zarah Sultana is well meaning but the more she attacks Labour - the party she was more than happy to be part of to get into government - the more disingenuous she comes across #bbcqt

Finally an MP speaking truthfully and in a positive light regarding immigration 🙌. @labouruk.bsky.social do need to appease the very vocal minority in speeding up applications which will have a knock on effect on reducing the amount of migrants staying in hotels. We do need legal migrant workers!

Exactly this. Labour also needs to immediately stop the selling of arms to that nutter Netanyahu. Starmer is on the wrong side of history atm.

Mark Serwotka nailed it on immigration. It's time for Labour to call this issue out for what it is - political weponising - and change the conversation on it from being negative to positive. #bbcqt

Just food for thought if anyone believes Farage or Reform will improve this country. Brexit turned out marvellously, did it not!

@paulbrand.bsky.social Please tell me you are going to highlight this on @itvnews.bsky.social later. This CANNOT be swept under the carpet. I don't believe Starmer / Labour will allow this to happen, but it needs to be called out.

75% of Brits? Who took part in this poll? 75 people in Clacton? I will always call out lies, as it's these kind of lies that are getting the planet in trouble. Why is #bbcqt giving a GB News reporter a platform? That is the bigger question.

The Labour government has been busy pursuing popular policies, and improving the lives of some of the poorest. But polls suggest many think they haven’t achieved much. Stephen MacNair goes into the issues they have been tackling. How good is the record?

💯 agree with this. It is the root cause of fuelling right wing hate speech and political divide, & Musk appears to be determined to push it further via its algorithms. Think it's time for @uklabour.bsky.social @kierstarmermp.bsky.social to take action, especially now Musk has his sights on Reform.

If there is anything Starmer needs to "get a grip" of its Musk and the right wing infiltrating British politics. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social please take heed and the action needed suggested in this article.
