A QUESTION TIME WORTH WATCHING?

Following weeks of dreadfully dull line-ups, tonight's BBC Question Time may provide something worth watching.  Unusually there are just two MPs in the line-up, neither of which we are particularly excited about, although Alison McGovern looks like she is about to cry in that photo.  Of greater interest is the presence of Novara Media's Ash Sarkar, the girl most famous for her spat with Piers Morgan in which she declared she was "literally a communist".  Her presence alongside a banker (Howard Davies) and ex-Tory minister Portillo should be enough to spice things up.

Migration is almost certainly going to be on the agenda and with any luck Portillo can give us a repeat of his evisceration of Owen Jones on that subject...

LITTLE OWEN SMEARS AUSTIN

Owen Jones has been in a spin this week, for obvious reasons.  The Great Leader is under attack and Owen has taken it upon himself to launch a one-man smear campaign against those Blairite 'scabs' and 'traitors' who have ditched Labour.

The wee lad certainly appears to have the inside track on forthcoming defections.  The night before the initial 'Gang of Seven' broke away he was busy attacking them on Twitter, singling out Gavin Shuker with typical double standards.  In the early hours of this morning (4am) he began his Twitter assault on Ian Austin.

Owen then goes on to tweet a series of quotes from Ian Austin to back up his suggestion that the MP is "hard right" or "racist".

Now some of you will recall that Owen appeared on This Week recently in which he was embroiled in a nasty spat with host Andrew Neil.  Just prior to that he was given a few home truths by Michael Portillo on the same programme.  Watch below...

So, Owen claims that he has never called anyone a 'racist' merely for voicing a concern about immigration.  Please refer to his above tweets about Ian Austin!
