Question Time<\/span> has been targeted over accusations of bias for years despite the programme-makers insisting the flagship show tries to take an impartial line.<\/p>\n

There is almost always someone from the Government on the panel alongside an MP from the official opposition, as well as politicians from other political parties.<\/p>\n

But the show, presented by Fiona Bruce<\/span>, has come under fire in the past, including from critics who accused Question Time of bias towards Remainers when it was pointed out the 10 most frequently appearing panellists opposed Brexit<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The then-proposed incoming chair of the BBC, Richard Sharp, told MPs on Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee in January 2021 that he believed the programme had more Remainers than Brexiteers as panellists in the lead up to the UK leaving the EU.<\/p>\n

Question Time insists it aims every week to select a panel with “a broad range of views, knowledge and experience” as well as those who are “relevant to the big stories or debates of that week”.<\/p>\n

In the last episode, broadcast from Doncaster, the panellists were veteran journalist Andrew Neil, Lib Dem MP Layla Moran, Conservative Cabinet member Esther McVey, Labour MP Steve Reed and comedian Zoe Lyons.<\/p>\n

The programme included discussion on a range of topics, including migration, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Government’s levelling up agenda.<\/p>\n
