But these don’t rate a “left wing” warning:

weird that only one think tank needs its place on the political compass mentioned 🤔 pic.twitter.com/3n941B8gNV

Here’s the guest list breakdown:

Tonight at 22:45 @bbcquestiontime returns for a new series on @BBCOne. We often get questions about our panels so we’ve crunched the numbers and here’s a chart showing a breakdown of panellists since 2000. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/54HSlAwHLU

“Other panelists” is presumably where the think tank guests go – so it is a shame Question Time hasn’t broken the pie chart down further for the segment of “left wing” think tanks. And there’s still no explanation as to how Farage is such a regular guest.
