Mr Bowie was no exception as he laid into the Prime Minister. He claimed that Starmer had accepted a “staggering amount” of donations, when Fiona interrupted him while bashing former PM .
She pointed out that Starmer has “not [accepted] as much as ”. Bowie replied: “Well no, is no longer an MP.” He deflected, adding: ” accepted over £107,000.”

Fans online were less than impressed with Fiona not letting the guest speak without interruption.
Posting to X/Twitter, one wrote: “So is now going to be renamed the Fiona Bruce show, and with Ian Murray as her foil, appalling absolutely f***ing appalling. Sack her .”
Another added: “Fiona Bruce: We haven’t got much time left… We’ve only got 6 minutes to answer the question… Mainly because I keep interrupting and speaking over everyone on the panel for the very simple reason that I’m no good at chairing a mothers meeting never mind question time… #bbcqt.”

“Fiona Bruce isnt getting any better on this show #bbcqt,” a third said, while someone else echoed: “Fiona Bruce is awful on question time. Doesn’t let anybody finish their points! Shut up!!!!!! #bbcqt.”
Speaking about the freebies scandal, a Downing Street spokesperson said: “The prime minister has commissioned a new set of principles on gifts and hospitality to be published as part of the updated ministerial code.
“Ahead of the publication of the new code, the prime minister has paid for several entries on his own register. This will appear in the next register of members’ interests.”
