Any Questions

I am in a slight state of shock at the composition of tonight's Any Questions panel, it is not stuffed full of left leaning panellists:

Professor ROBERT WINSTON, Labour peer - Should be interesting on abortion debate

LORD (NORMAN) TEBBIT: Conservative peer - Not exactly a "Cameroonie"; maybe the BBC have invited him on to embarrass David Cameron but I think he should be too astute for that

AMANDA PLATELL: columnist and broadcaster - Her politics are varied, a Labour supporter who became the press secretary for William Hague before writing a less than complimentary election diary.

JOHN HARRIS: Guardian columnist and writer - Also a self-confessed active member of "Compass" since 2005 and in June a believer that Labour culd be saved.

So no Lib Dems on tonight's panel.

I have no doubts that Amanda Platell's links with the Conservative party will be mentioned by Jonathan Dimbleby. I am somewhat less certain that he will mention John Harris's political allegiances, after all aren't all right thinking journalists Labour supporters?


UPDATE:
Lord Robert Winston - Labour
Lord Norman Tebbit - Conservative
Amanda Platell - Links to William Hague
John Harris - Disillusioned Labour
Fairer than I feared.
