@haveigotnews Nigel Farage on Question Time for the 34th time on Thursday is ok but Heidi Allen on #HIGNFY on Friday isn’t. Interesting decision.

Have I Got News For You

Sorry everyone. The BBC have pulled tonight’s edition of #HIGNFY - no, we didn’t book Danny Baker. We booked Heidi Allen, a member of a party no-one knows the name of (not even the people in it), because the Euro elections, which nobody wants, may or may not be happening. Sorry.

@Andy_Wheatley @haveigotnews Who were the other QT guests? Representatives from other parties, at a guess?

@EssexHebridean @haveigotnews That’s a fair point. I would counter though that neither the Lib Dems, Greens or other non-participating parties had a voice on BBCQT last night either. Where do you draw the line? She wasn’t on the show to promote her party manifesto.

@Linda1258 I get that. I was looking forward to her getting stick for her party’s thus far shambolic campaign.

@haveigotnews #HIGNFY is the last place for an MP to make a campaign stand. It’s where they go to get lampooned at their own and their party’s risk but I can see the rationale behind the decision. I just disagree with it.

@Andy_Wheatley @haveigotnews Did you forget Anna Soubry was also on Question Time? Along with representatives of numerous other parties. @heidiallen75 on HIGNFY would break electoral rules. It’s not a conspiracy. Just another PR own goal from Change UK.

@JAGLeMans @haveigotnews @heidiallen75 I don’t care if it’s a conspiracy or not. I don’t care if there are more Brexiters than Remainers or vice versa on BBCQT or HIGNFY. I just want to watch the damn show. It’s funny.

@Andy_Wheatley @haveigotnews By 'decision' I'm pretty sure you already know you mean 'following the law'. Or do you really not understand purdah?

@Harrogeek Yes, thanks. My degree is in politics. I’ve worked in politics. I’ve advised politicians during elections. I understand. My tweet was flippant, clumsy and perhaps a little opaque but it was about being pissed off that the show was pulled.
