Today, the Speaker refused to allow time for Parliament to discuss the policy that allowed a serial rapist to be placed in a woman's prison, with tragic and preventable consequences.

Tonight, on Question Time, the Prison Minister, Rory Stewart, (MP Con Penrith & the Border) faces the nation instead.

Also on the panel, the Talk Radio host Julia Hartley Brewer, Chris Leslie (MP Labour Nottingham East) Theo Paphitis (Dragons Den) and Faiza Shaheen (prospective parliamentary candidate for key marginal Chingford and director of Centre for Labour and Social Studies, Class)

Might be interesting......

Perhaps you could ask MNHQ to amend the date in the title? I think this is essential viewing, thanks for alerting us to it.

Apologies for the wrong day. It's on tonight, Thursday, 13th and probably on the BBC I-player after that.

I've just remembered this is going to be taking place in my local town. It's not exactly a hotbed of radical feminism (or of transactivism for that matter). I can imagine what the questions will be about - Brexit, the proposed closure of the local hospital, a bit of immigrant-bashing . . . I'll be quite surprised if there is a question on the prisons issue.

Yes Rory Stewart is in the Nick Clegg camp of looking like he either just has or is about to cry. (NB not a criticism, men should definitely cry more! It's very cathartic. Just an observation.)

It's tomorrow night not tonight

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 12/09/2018 20:21

But do we know that there is going to be a question??

SPOFS · 12/09/2018 20:19

I think the audience's reaction will be very interesting. I can't see many supporting this.

Cwenthryth · 12/09/2018 20:18

Yeah tomorrow night Namechange

I suspect Rory Stewart is not going to come across well. He looks very anxious and wibbly even at friendly community events.

Very intelligent and experienced bloke (ex army?) but vocally gives Jacob RM a run for his money In terms of 'posh accents'.

Sat in a very safe seat so not had to do huge amount to win voters over so far...

Ooh that's a line up!

NameChangedAgain18 · 12/09/2018 19:40

I think it’s on tomorrow, no? But is the BBC really going to allow questions on this topic?

Cwenthryth · 12/09/2018 19:35

JHB and the prisons minister. That’s some cracking booking there!

Thanks OtherPam. As you say, should be interesting.
