A Question For Any Questions

Even trailing the repeat before that of The News Quiz, the Radio Four announcer thought that one of the panellists was the human rights and criminal law barrister, and sometime Labour Councillor and parliamentary candidate, John Cooper QC. In fact, he had been replaced with Douglas Murray of the Henry Jackson Society.

As soon as anyone, anyone at all, pulls out, then Any Questions rings round the Hard Right "think tank" (too rich to need to work) circuit that also has permanent residence on Newsnight, the Today programme, and The Daily Politics.

On Any Questions, as on Question Time, there are always, to put it alliteratively, two Tories. Always. Why is that? Plus, at least in the televised case, a chairman who is a member of the Bullingdon Club. Is Douglas Murray, of Eton and Oxford, a member of the Bullingdon Club? I think we should be told.
