I have tried to find out how much panellists on QT get paid and it would appear to be expenses only. Anyone know if that is true?
Probably. Most will go their in their role as MP, journey, commentator, activist, author etc.

Interesting she's doing one so far from home, normally they get someone local in to bring some local issues/knowledge.

I would imagine it probably is. Maybe a small appearance fee but I wouldn’t expect it to be much.

She’ll be there telling everyone how she knitted central heating out of Walkers crisps when she was a poor.

I've been having a small aneurysm over here as I confused Question Time with MASTERMIND in my head...... and then wondered what the hell would be her specialist subject. Slop?

Anyway, I think this an absolutely terrible move for her! Why would you do something as visible as prime time BBC when you got accused of alleged fraud only last week and have so many questions about financial impropriety (again, alleged) all over the internet? Weird weird move.

She can't appear of QT at the moment, surely? If she does, I really think it's a shift in things with this new agent and being styled as some sort of after dinner/conference speaker charging ££££. And just move away from her Twitter persona.

Let's hope she doesn't do cooking with Jack type hotel/restaurant days 😱. I was lucky enough to stay at Chewton Glen a few years ago 🍉 with an evening of cookery with James Martin. It was absolutely amazing. There is NO WAY Jack could do that sort of thing. It would be grim.

I can’t actually believe that Adrian thinks this is a good idea. As others have said there won’t be any direct questions but it’s almost guaranteed the QT hashtag and mentions will be an absolute binfire. I’m horrified the BBC think it’s appropriate but i will be there with popcorn listening to the honking pish she comes out with.

You're a better Frau than me. I don't think I'll be able to watch it. I'm not convinced she'll attend 🙈.

I’ve chosen to believe that LJC has an agreed to do Jack a favour by recommend/suggesting her to her contacts at the bbc. Maybe contacts who are still holding a grudge about the Victoria Derbyshire show being cancelled. The perfect revenge - the bbc have to deal with the binfire, Jack looks even more of a twit than usual and there’s no comeback on LJC because she did exactly what Jack had asked/told her to do . Look, I can dream ok 😂

Adam Rutherford is gonna be propping up her grift on Monday. Someone needs to challenge him to take a trip to Southend, to visit the estates, to see the hollowed out town centre, to hang around the high street or near the seafront on a sunny day about an hour after school kicking out time, to open his eyes and ears and see Southend. Then to look at Jack Monroe and see if ANYTHING about her seems genuine in that context.

and the less said about the wanky BBC bookers the better, I’ve only got more bad words and don’t want to breach @MancBee ’s tolerance levels 🫣

I think I’m more interested in how much exactly she’s paid Adrian to date/is contracted to pay. Poverty princess has the services of a clearly high-end PR and reputation management guru; that’s not coming cheap. I don’t suppose he’d do pro bono work even for the poverty princess who boils soap and unscrews lightbulbs.

And I really wish I still had a telly licence so I could write to the BBC and explain that I’ve had to cancel it because they’ve decided to put a proven liar and fraud on QT as though she’s in any way a reliable source of anything. Hmph, I didn’t think about that when I was busily tightening my belt and cutting all non-essential expenditure after becoming an actual single mum on maternity leave, did I? Should have kept the TV licence just so I could cancel it now.

I seem to remember QT is booked a long time in advance. Although I am an old sea hag and my memory might be faulty.

This is a bold claim move and I think will be either the making or breaking of the scam for her

I think going on QT is a terrible idea for her and it’s going to backfire. Obviously lovely for us though 🥰

IF she turns up I think we're going to need a Cringe-ometer that goes up to 11. I'm already at about 3 just thinking about next week's QT. Get the popcorn in mavens!
