    Just watched question time a doctor in audience challenged labour mp on the tax plans I quote you plan to tax me and I’m not in top 5% apparently he works as a doctor and labours manifesto will make doctors pay more. I don’t care about lawyers mps and all them others but I think doctors who work for nhs should be exempt.

    Very shocking from Tory’s on cladding over a thousand unsafe cladding still out there. I do think if it’s privately owned by some rich snob and not owned by council the owner of that property need to replace it or face jail time as for council owned buildings government should be ashamed of themselves for not fixing their cock up.

    Also I get why Lib dumbs was on that show but why was snp on a show with a bolton audience?

    Council-owned buildings are the responsibility of the council.

    MP's salary is £79600 which is just under the threshold but fear not by next April it will exceed that

    My understanding of what he said was he earned over £80k but he only used doctors as an example that a lot of people may actually earn over that amount. I think he might need a visit to a GP though to calm himself down as he was very annoyed
    His argument was that anyone who earns £80k isn't anywhere near the top 5% of earners when you include say solicitors, dentists, vets, accountants

    It,s a national TV station therefore a lot of Scots will be watching the programme

    I,ve often wondered why we,re shown Scottish league football highlights on the news. It,s probably because it,s cheap for the BBC to buy it but also because the BBC covers Scotland as well as England

    Which are elected and funded by the taxes and government grants. Let’s face it they made it on the cheap because of the austerity cuts. You think councils have that kind of money laying around no just like flood defences and road repairs the grants are given by government to fund such things

    Indeed but sometimes it is regionalised for example BBC Scotland.
    Presumably Question Time goes out on every BBC regional area
