Sky News star calls for BBC's Question Time cancellation
A Sky News broadcaster has called for BBC's Question Time to be canceled after watching the latest episode. Jeff Stelling, who is known for his work in sports journalism, expressed his frustration on social media. He said he switched to another show because he felt the panel lacked representation from major political parties. The episode aired on March 20, hosted by Fiona Bruce. The panel included a mix of politicians and journalists, but Stelling pointed out that there were no prominent figures from key parties like the Liberal Democrats or Reform UK. He characterized the panel's guests as mostly unknown and expressed disappointment in the show's format. Many people reacted to Stelling’s comments. Several agreed with him, mentioning they stopped watching the show for similar reasons. However, some defended Question Time, saying that representatives from Reform UK appear regularly on the show. During the episode, the panel discussed several pressing issues. They talked about Labour's proposed changes to the benefits system and Donald Trump's role in negotiations regarding peace in Ukraine. Conservative MP Helen Whately raised concerns that Russia might take advantage of the situation during peace talks. Fraser Nelson noted that a recent ceasefire agreement was significant progress in the ongoing conflict. Fans of the show can watch it on BBC iPlayer.
