I gave up watching "Question Time" shortly after Dimbleby left, but with the Windsor Framework the obvious hot topic of the week I thought I would see what they had to say. I am afraid it really just confirmed my prejudices. Despite the new agreement and despite Sunak's exact quotations being read to them and despite a very clear indication from the audience that they were not at all happy with how Brexit has been implemented, the panellists simply refused to engage with the question or the agreement, just parroting what they have been saying since 2016. The chair did challenge them a bit - more than I expected, to be honest - but once they declined to respond to her point, she just let them carry on. I am afraid it is back in the 'pointless' box for a few more years.
