3 remoaners to 2 leavers, on the panel. (including the dead wood SNP, who don't care except for independence)

Kings lynn voted 2:1 to leave.
Yet the audience is pro remain slaughtering the government and booing anything about leaving.

Absolute stitch up and spoiling a fair debate.

Obviously unlike your biased option on the subject..
I thought the debate was an eye opener.
It was nice to see the Tory panelist refusing to admit she's not stitching up our Maggie / May.....,!!
The Tories are stitching this country up to retain power....yes that is looking out for the will of the people....xx

Usual BBC "unbiased" Question Time audience .

I think they advertise for " volunteers" in the Guardian , in between the special offers for an inflatable Owen Jones , and the latest edition of The Polly Toynbee " One thousand non- gender specific after dinner anecdotes"

Sounds like May wants to take them on!

According to Jack Blanchard’s London Playbook briefing, Number 10 sources have been briefing aggressively that Theresa May would be happy to see Brexiters resign if they cannot accept her proposals. He writes:

Speaking in bellicose terms, the Downing Street figure said a “full reshuffle plan” is already in place. “Collective responsibility will be asserted at the end of the day,” the source said. “A select number of ego-driven, leadership-dominated cabinet ministers need to support the PM in the best interests of the U.K. — or their spots will be taken by a talented new generation of MPs who will sweep them away.”

Chances of resignations going up. Seems like Johnson and Cameron met last night, hatching a plan. Not a surprise.

So not enough fudge was packed to hold it all together. Davis gone.
Gove can't follow now after what he's said. But Fox and others might. Chances of a leadership challenge are edging up steadily. If they get the 48 they need, they'll remember how May lost their majority, a compromise candidate will throw their hat in the ring and she could well be gone.

They are all at fault..
The Hard liners should have come forward after the disaster that was the election.
They should have had one of their own negotiating with the EU so they could lay down from day one what the UK wanted and was expecting....but they backed an ailing leader so they could retain power instead of risk loosing another election.
Then the negotiating could have begun..
instead the Tories were just interested in appeasing the Nation to remain in power ,
obviously incorporating a 1 billion pound deal with the DUP to help them retain power !
The result ,
no direction no leadership , 1 billion scrumped from our Magic Money Tree,that we did not have for the nurses....( it must have been a fast growing Tree!!)
May has lied to the nation and her party about what she was going to do ..all along she wanted the soft Brexit..so why did Brexit mean Brexit and not soft Brexit.....??
because .. saying it out loud would have cost her and the party Power !!!

Just about sums it up!
You think back to Johnson going AWOL right after the referendum (just like he ran off to Kabul the other week to avoid a vote).
And then blubbing and standing down when Gove stood against him, letting May in.
They've never had a plan and never had the balls.
What happens from here is anyone's guess, but fanatics like Rees-Mogg won't let it go without having a go at taking over the party

So David Davis has gone, clearly a principled man but never struck me as particularly talented. My abiding memory of him will be the first day of Brexit negotiations when Barnier brought his files of papers and Davis just turned up for a cup of tea and a chat.

Now is the perfect chance for someone like Gove, Johnson or Rees-Mogg to step up and proudly lead the party and the country to a hard Brexit and become a national hero when we reap the 'Brexit dividend'.

Or alternatively continue to snipe from the sidelines and wait until it's all finished then say they would've done it better.

Your last sentence sounds about right.

Never mind Mrs May's Fudge Shoppe, what about Jolly Jeremy's Joke Shop? Here is a moment at which the Tories are wide open and ready for a decisive counter, where the country is ready for firm leadership, and not a word from Labour.
Last Wednesday when McVey was similarly vulnerable and should have been taken to the cleaners, what did Jezzer choose as the theme for PM's Question Time? The bloody buses.
What about asking Gareth Southgate to form a cabinet?
