Tory MP David Davies was so awful on Question Time even Fiona Bruce had to step in

John Plunkett. Updated April 19th, 2024

To the Question Time studios now – no, stick with us – where Conservative MP and Secretary of State for Wales was among the panellists.

And in a crowded field he managed to win the BBC1’s programme’s worst panellist. Not just last night but – at the risk of over-reaching just a little bit – all time.

It’s no great surprise that he didn’t agree with fellow panellist, Labour MP Briget Phillipson. But the way he chose to do it was quite the jaw-dropper. So much so that even Fiona Bruce felt compelled to intervene.

Pompous Tory @DavidTCDavies doesn’t like Labour’s @bphillipsonMP challenging him on his govt’s ‘failed Rwanda policy’ so he resorts to ‘personal insults’.

Even Fiona steps in to reprimand him.

Why did people in Monmouth, #Wales vote for such an odious oaf? #BBCQT #ToriesOut pic.twitter.com/gA3FbmFzUY

And here are just a few of the comments it prompted.

Monmouth deserves way better than the gentleman who, as a special constable? could do with some restorative training.

He is the classic baying hound, set on loyalty to party above any genuine sense of constituents being important. https://t.co/bFpp8AI4Fj

This has genuinely made me angry!
I've actually known Bridget since she was a kid. Her and her family are wonderful people.
I hope, for his sake, he's booted out at the GE because she'll be gunning for him now!
Be afraid little man, be very afraid!!! #bbcqt #GeneralElectionN0W https://t.co/jr7tfjBmeG

Reliably aggressive @DavidTCDavies has lost the room and he’s too dim to notice https://t.co/g4gOOvLJ6m

To conclude …

David Davies, Welsh Secretary for #RishiSunak had a complete meltdown on #bbcqt last night.

I had to watch it again just to appreciate how scared he is of a General Election.

Polls predict a TOTAL TORY WIPEOUT in Wales this time inc him

Last word to spoof former Tory MP, Sir Michael Take.

Felt so sorry for Tory MP David Davies on #bbcqt last night:
Bullied by Marxist Fiona Bruce
Sneered at by Labour’s Bridget Phillipson (Good friend of Angela Rayner)
Jeered at by a Northern Linekerist audience.
David was both brave & dignified
Bravo sirpic.twitter.com/l9TObW2lm9
