False. BBC's official Question Time FAQ on panel selection has no mention of any rule barring MPs from their own constituencies. Searches of guidelines, past episodes, and today's Clacton coverage confirm nothing like that exists. Farage wasn't on the panel tonight, but the stated reason doesn't match any known policy.

I wasn’t able to take part in #BBCQT from Clacton tonight, as we were told MPs are not allowed to appear on the show in their own constituencies. I’m sure I’ll be back on before too long!

@CirceGolden @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Yes, indeed. This latest reply is more objective.
Anyway, we are in a bit of a predicament. Hopefully we can rearm and be self sufficient. We need to re-evaluate our arms procurement process IMO - the Ajax being an example of wasted time & money...

@observer1225283 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Factually & objectively Trump insulted uk troops.
He aligns with regimes that commit atrocities.
I called out fake patriots that defend Trump as he insults & threatens us.
On that basis you said “your way of thinking, that has led the UK to where it is” 😂🤡
Emotional?whatever 😂

'It comes from a shock at what he sees as the arrogance maybe of European countries, not just the UK, the arrogance of Nato.'
@beverleyturner shares her analysis of President Donald Trump's comments on the UK's defence.

@CirceGolden @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Yep. I wasn't disputing that there are war crimes (Russian + Ukrainian), which are disgusting, but you're just making emotional statements to try and win your argument.
English
@observer1225283 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Why then are you so desperate to defend a man with multiple accusations of paedophilia who spits on families of the European & uk troops who gave their lives to fight in America wars who belittles our military and county then?
There is plenty of evidence of Russian atrocities.
English
@CirceGolden @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Why are you such a supporter of mainstream parties that are, in effect, a form of managed decline? Why did you support parties that woefully rotted out military? That is a spit in the face of our troops - not giving them what they need to be combat ready.
English
@CirceGolden @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Ah yes. Just because we don't agree, means I'm groomed by propaganda. No doubt you're incapable of such things, and are completely moral. Indicates a lot about you.
Your post is very emotionally charged - not very evidence led, even if true. Don't like Russia.
English
@observer1225283 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Nah, you are soft brained and groomed by propaganda. My grandparents fought Nazis and to keep our country free. Trump’s regime cosies up to Putin and pushing pro Putin parties. Russia threatens the Europe and the uk. They rape and torture babies and grandmothers, steal kids.

@AnnSpencer001 @bilbooblib @chris_croslin1 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Also, your boring reply was marked as probable spam. Ironic

@bilbooblib @chris_croslin1 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner So your prior point was wrong then, got it.
My illegal war? I'm a Brit.
English
@observer1225283 @chris_croslin1 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner Serbia - genocide in the middle of Europe had to be stopped. It was.
Libya - UN mandate.
Cough - I repeat, why should we join in your illegal war that you didn't bother to consult anyone about?
English
English
@bilbooblib @chris_croslin1 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner As a Briton, you're a complete cretin. Cough Libya, cough Serbia
English
@chris_croslin1 @GBNEWS @beverleyturner As a Briton, you're a complete cretin.
Why should we join in your illegal war that you didn't bother to consult anyone about?
And you do realise NATO is a defensive, not offensive, alliance yes?
Thought not.
English
@CirceGolden @GBNEWS @beverleyturner And we're fed up with people like you - your way of thinking, that has led the UK to where it is.
English
@GBNEWS @beverleyturner Twisting yourself in circles to excuse Trumps insults to our armed forces and nation. Treachery and traitorous. I’m so fed up of this bullshit from the fake “patriots”.
English
Just pay these TSS agents already. Fuck trump, our elected officials need to actually serve their constituents.

@GBPolitcs He didn't ignore the question
The PM said "the man and the party who voted against giving law enforcement counter terrorism style powers to tackle this. He doesn't want it sorted"
What a bunch of drama queens - and they have to get their TV station to fight their battles

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage reveals his reasoning why he walked out of the House of Commons mid PMQs at a Reform rally in Sussex:
“Once again, he completely ignored me, he started rambling and raving about Reform councillors across the country and, in disgust and against Parliamentary convention, I got up and walked out”
English
English
@QRavenmoon @BillMelugin_ No, he is wrong.
Most people who are here illegally overstayed their visa.
That is an administrative violation, not a criminal offense

NEW: Border Patrol's Greg Bovino spoke with NYT ahead of his retirement, telling them that "all illegal aliens are criminals" and that his only regret is "I wish I’d caught even more illegal aliens, we went as hard as we could."

@hughjbrown @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 To me that's not islamophobic at all, but you do you. I'm not going to change your mind - nor are you going to change mine.
English
@observer1225283 @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 There have been many public events at Trafalgar Square by other religions, he hasn't criticised them.
His recent comments were targeted at Muslims, he singled them out. He may in future level such criticism at *all* religions, but until he does, he's singled-out Muslims.
English
Starmer: the new definition of anti-Muslim hostility will not restrict the right to criticise Islam.
Also Starmer:
English
@hughjbrown @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 Just because he hasn't criticised other religions yet, doesn't mean he's won't? That's an assumption.
Yes, because it was an islamic prayer. Thus, the context of his criticism, was related to islam.
English
@observer1225283 @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 He didn't say religious events shouldn't be taking place in public, and neither has he criticised similar events by other religions. He singled-out Muslims.
English
@hughjbrown @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 It was a Muslim prayer if I recall correctly. Why wouldn't he focus on islam?
English
@observer1225283 @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 That's a different point entirely, and not one that Timothy made.
He singled-out Muslims.
English
@hughjbrown @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 Religion should not be on public display. All places of worship should be regulated and monitored for extremism. Again, in my opinion.
English
@OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 So you agree that Timothy's post was Islamophobic? Whether it's Islamophobia, antisemitism, misogyny or racism, such prejudice has no place in our society or politics.
English
@hughjbrown @OurJeeBee @AnnabelDenham1 It wasn't islamophobic in my opinion. More so, a healthy criticism of a religion that doesn't really tolerate criticism. All religions should be scrutinised.
English
@HumzaYousaf Weren't you filmed in parliament highlighting 'whiteness' in government. To me, that was seriously offensive and racist. You are a conman and hypocrite.
HILARIOUS that your term didn't last long. Though not surprising, as your incompetence is visible from a mile away.
English
Astonished and gobsmacked that a bunch of Reform's Scottish candidates are racist, anti-Muslim bigots.

@TheyWould1 @JackMcDuff1 @JBlog911 @NJ_Timothy @joe44778 So he was wrong. He said all 20 were born outside the UK and you believed him 😂 or are you just jealous? 😂

This Labour MP wants me investigated and silenced.
He makes my case for me.
Labour’s rebranded “Islamophobia” definition is designed to censor us.
So Mr Khan, here’s my reply:
Get lost.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
