The BBC’s flagship TV political debate programme sparked a fresh controversy this evening - because it came to Bristol but had no-one representing the city’s largest political party.
BBC Question Time is being recorded this evening and shown on BBC1 tonight, with a panel of guests from the Conservatives, Labour and the Lib Dems, as well as a right-wing journalist and the boss of Oxfam.
But Green Party figures nationally and in the city have described the programme as a ‘stitch-up’, after no-one from the party was invited to take part. The Green Party has the largest number of councillors elected to City Hall and one of them is the party’s national co-leader.
