BBC Question Time viewers ‘switch off’ over Fiona Bruce detail

s sparked backlash among viewers, ultimately resulting in many “switching off” the programme completely.

The complaints centred on broadcaster and presenter , who was joined by a panel of politicians and other guests.

On the panel were Treasury Minister James Murray MP, Shadow Justice Minister Dr Kieran Mullan MP, Liberal Democrats’ health spokesperson Helen Morgan MP, Reform UK’s chairman Zia Yusuf and former Daily Mirror editor Alison Phillips

However, Fiona stirred up fury after viewers noticed a repeated detail throughout the episode.

Many took to social media with rage over the way she allowed other politicians more time to debate the topics, including one who fumed: “Is Fiona Bruce scared of Reform? Why won’t she shut him up and counter his disinformation? Horrible to watch.”

Another questioned: “Why is Fiona Bruce allowing these extended party broadcasts by Reform Co Ltd? She’s always keen otherwise to interrupt people.”

In response, one viewer remarked: “I’m pleased that you’ve pointed this out. I rarely watch the “Fiona loves Fiona” show nowadays.”

As a fourth echoed: “Fgs. Fiona interrupting the Labour bloke but let Zia Yusuf drone on for ages with his Reform party political broadcast.” (sic)

However, it was too much for one who stated: “‘Sorry to interrupt you’ says Fiona Bruce to Labour MP James Murray. Accept she’s not sorry and she did it four times on the first question. Zia Yusuf is on a panel for the second time this week. Arrogance personified, time to switch off.”

This isn’t the first time Fiona has sparked backlash among viewers who picked up on her .

During the political debate show, the presenter was accused of “talking over” guests and continuously interjecting during the heated debates.

One viewer remarked: “Is this Question time or is it the Fiona Bruce show? No one else gets the chance to speak. She is supposed to moderate not talk over everyone. It’s so annoying.”
