A Question Time audience gave the thumbs down to Boris Johnson’s Partygate ‘evidence’
It’s a frequent complaint by viewers that the audience on Question Time is made up largely of Tories. On Thursday evening’s Stoke-on-Trent show, host Fiona Bruce confirmed that this was the case – at least on that occasion – which made her straw poll so much better.
Watch what happened.

The audience might not have been in tune with Nadine Dorries or Jacob Rees-Mogg, but they seemed to have their finger much more on the pulse of the nation, if YouGov is any indication.
Twitter was very much here for the impromptu Question Time vote.

"Boris Johnson has won in the court of public opinion" says Jacob Rees Mogg.
Yeah, looks like it.

In a #BBCQT audience with a majority who voted for Boris Johnson in 2019, guess how many put their hands up when asked if he told the truth in Parliament yesterday – as opposed to any other day!pic.twitter.com/b6TmZC2Utr
