Yesterday Alastair Campbell posted to X in response to a post which detailed the line-up for BBC Question Time, which was was to be filmed in St Andrews in Fife.
The line up included Anas Sarwar (Scottish labour), Andrew Bowie (Conservative), Shirley-Anne Summerville (SNP), Lesley Riddoch (Journalist & Broadcaster) and Thomas Kerr (Reform UK).
Alastair Campbell posted:
It has gone beyond a joke. The. BBC has a death wish. “Let’s keep platforming the people who want to destroy us”. Weird.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson reacted to Mr Campbell's post this morning, posting:
Death Wish?
You might of heard of Ashfield the capital of common sense. Why don't you come stand against me here at the next election?
Your chances of winning?
Put it this way, there is more chance of finding a WMD in Iraq.
I think you need a breathalyzer before tweeting.
