Mick Lynch

[KangFang]

Anyone else here loving his work?

Rachel Maclean is desperately hopeless. 'That's what I'm getting to.' 'Can I finish?' 'Can you just let me finish?' 'Our Prime Minister's leadership.'

And: I work with my local food bank.'

Do ye aye, Rachel?

Her claim that the government cares about public sector workers is laughable and she knows it.

I am over 55. I have never read the Daily Mail. I have never voted Conservative. My friends are the same.

Rachel mclean is utterly pathetic. All the blinking and raising eyebrows just makes her look stupid and completely out her depth.

Now she's trying to justify the Rwanda policy because of the poor people at risk of dying in the Channel...

Probably because she is.

They are fair when they're on equal terms so that the flexibility works both ways. What often happens however is that they'll say words to the effect of "we won't guarantee you any work, but don't you dare not be available to work whenever we want you"

To be fair, I don't blame her for being terrified after how every other politician and journalist has been cut down to size in the last few days.

Well Mick Lynch has certainly nailed Boris Johnson.

Fiona Bruce might as well turn up in a giant blue rosette. It would at least be honest.

Yep, he nailed Johnson in what he said. Spot on about the motivation of those the Tory MPs too, imo.

My God I'm glad to see this thread. This guy is incredible. His performance tonight is a masterclass. There was a palpable shift in the room when he started talking about how the wage crisis is playing out generally across the public sector and the country: I mean he timed it just right and listened respectfully to others'experience of it. Lucky rail workers having him on their side.

Hes fantastic. Wish we had someone as good in teachers union.

Fuck me.

• how would you get this woman's vote?
• I wouldn't bother because I don't care.

Even if you disagree with strikes you can surely still admire him. He’s really good at showing up how terrible some so called journalists are.

And the look on her face "How can you not be embarrassed that he's your leader?" 🙄

Oh yeah. You've had people like Amanda Martin.

Thought that was amazing. At least it was honest.

She was woeful.

Not as bad as the crazy face woman going on about dinosaurs but in that ball park.

Fiona Bruce is fucking annoying though. She just let that guy with the check shirt rant on and on about how the thousands of engineers, strategists, drivers, project managers, technicians etc etc who staff the rail network need to model their working practices on the approach he uses with his massive global fleet of 35 staff. I mean he sat there yelling nonsense for ages and she kept on stopping Mick from responding.

Fiona Bruce is really annoying, I find she interrupts about 20 seconds too early for all the panellists, it really pisses me off.

Rachel McLean basically saying you win some voters , you lose some voters with a shrug of the shoulders to that woman in the audience who wasn't able to be with dying relative. Utterly shameless ,

The establishment is a bit scared of Mick, I reckon. That edition of QT was an attempt to stitch him up.

Didn't work though did it. He's got a deft touch.

I do find Fiona Bruce inadequate for Questiontime. Prefer it when there's a stand-in like Victoria Derbyshire.

I'd also be happy with a variety of other BBC faces chairing QT like e.g. Alex Forsyth, Jessica Parker or tbh Tomasz Schafernaker over Fiona Bruce.

Ben Swain! Benign tumour! Bental illness!
