... to ask you all for a brilliant question to put forward on BBC QT tomorrow so I'll definitely get on the telly?

They gave me a phone interview today and basically said my question wasn't topical enough & I should think of another one.
Feeling like this is such an opportunity but I'm a bit brain dead after surgery last week so please can you lovely MNetters help me out?
Panel is to consist of:
Justine Greening MP, Conservative, Education Secretary;
John McDonnell MP, Labour, Shadow Chancellor;
Joanna Cherry MP, SNP, Justice & Home Affairs Spokesperson;
Alistair Campbell, Broadcaster and former Director of Communications for Tony Blair and
Quentin Letts, Journalist & Parliamentary Sketch Writer for the Daily Mail
Think in particular we could collectively find something amusing to ask Mr Letts?
Thanks in advance

I actually think I should wrap myself in gold paper. See if that gets me on the flipping telly, sod the question.
Now I'm laughing and about to rupture my healing pelvic floor (had a hysterectomy)...!

I've just read that Justine Greening has pulled out ...

I've just read that Justine Greening has pulled out

Well, she's had a busy week what with talking to MPs in the House twice and appearing on the Today programme.

Why appear on a flagship BBC current affairs programme where the public might have to ask her questions?

Not topical enough, but otherwise I'd suggest What's your favourite biscuit?" Grin

Do grammar schools aid social mobility?

I would ask about what mattered to me

Historical child abuse enquiry
Southern trains
People who own multiple houses

I would wear that green kaftan with pride.

Good luck.

I went once and deliberately didn't submit a question - I didn't want to "be on telly" - just interested to see what it was like.

Thanks for all your input on this one, folks. Was a fascinating evening.
My question didn't get picked, but my amazing Corbynista daughter got a full 4 minutes of airtime at the end. I am sitting next to her 'looking like I'd trodden in dog shit', apparently, but I can take that...
Her profile has now gone viral. She's getting media attention from across the world and is one step closer to launching her political career!
Have a great weekend...

Ooh I wonder if I saw her. Was she the 16 year old? Smile

goldwrapped · 17/09/2016 14:43

She was the 17 year old Corbynista in the red top. Who owned Anna Soubry in the last 10 minutes.

Ha! The key word that I missed in your post was Corbynista! You are both very pretty and glamorous. Your DD is clearly very passionate and articulate. Nice one!

allsfairinlove · 17/09/2016 20:11

What an impressive young woman your DD is!
I think we might even be looking at a future leader of the Labour Party... Not joking!
