I can't watch #BBCQT live, so I'm doing my #JohnDrawsBBCQT artwork early! I see @rachelmillward is on the panel - so I'm drawing her from last week's appearance! Hopefully she'll mention my friend Chris Ogden of the @McrGreenParty who was elected as a councillor! @TheGreenParty

"I don't think we'll ever be able to eliminate hate – that's a kind of a false dream. But what we need to do is lead by example... We need to figure out how our politicians can lead by example." ~ Audience member. #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime @bbcquestiontime

"Barrels of oil from the North Sea, or from anywhere else, are traded on a global market by these global corporations… they don't care about the communities and will cut and run when it is convenient for them to do so." ~ @Gillian_Mackay1 #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime

"How long will I need to live to see meaningful growth in the UK economy?" ~ Audience member. #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime @bbcquestiontime

“If they spent more care with our nation’s mental health, then that would improve everything” Liberal Democrat Layla Moran says tackling mental health issues would raise productivity and employment, but the NHS “doesn’t even claim to care how long you’re going to wait” #bbcqt

"If [the government] spent more care with our nation's mental health, that would improve everything. It would help people get back to work… make people more productive… there would be better connection in our communities." ~ @LaylaMoran #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime

"This is an illegal war and we should have absolutely nothing to do with any offensive activity whatsoever... We have been here before... dragged into forever wars in the Middle East by reckless US presidents." ~ @JoshBabarinde #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime

“Don’t send your sons to finish a war that politicians start” On the US-Israel war with Iran, Broadcaster Kay Burley shares her experience as a local reporter having to interview the mothers of her deployed school friends during the Falklands war #bbcqt

"I would say, and I feel this strongly, don't send your sons to finish a war that politicians start." ~ @KayBurley #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT @bbcquestiontime #BBCQuestionTime

"We're being dragged into a war with no clear objectives… The real reason for this attack is spectacle. [Trump] wants to be the centre of attention… This war has no basis in international law whatsoever." @GeorgeMonbiot #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT @bbcquestiontime #BBCQuestionTime

While we all wait for @bbcquestiontime to come on iPlayer (not sure why it's not on at 9pm as advertised), why not take a moment to enjoy my drawing of @ChefTomKerridge from last week's #bbcqt programme? Tonight's drawing will happen later... :) #JohnDrawsBBCQT

"Immigration is constantly used by political parties for masking years & years of infrastructure [problems]... It is not the fault of immigration - it is the fault of spending & poor money management." ~ Tom Kerridge (@ChefTomKerridge) #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime

"This represents potentially the most serious crisis for the Royal family since the abdication of Edward VIII… and of course, if this case comes to a trial, it will be Rex vs Mountbatten-Windsor: big brother vs little brother." ~ @jonsopel #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime

Yes" "On top of that its a regressive system" "If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me" "The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking" Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?" Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?" "The state paid for it, didn't they?" Fiona Bruce, "They did" Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

"My 3-yr course [in 2012]: £9k/yr tuition + I have a maintenance loan. I left uni with about £37.5k of debt… From the day I started, I was charged interest… the amount of interest I have accrued is £32k." ~ @OliDugmore #JohnDrawsBBCQT #BBCQT #BBCQuestionTime @bbcquestiontime
