Wee Dougie says "NO!" to Question Time. Apparently.

The talk on the blogs is all about Douglas Alexander apparently "bottling" Question Time tonight for "family reasons," to the amusement of Iain Dale and Guido Fawkes.

Personally, Westmonster thinks they're too harsh on Mr Alexander; if she had to stay sober on a Thursday night in order to address the fatuous questions of the honking seals in the audience whilst stuggling to make herself heard over the I'm-a-national-institution bumblings of Dimbleby ... then she'd be muttering to herself "maybe if I died I wouldn't have to do it," as well.

Cut him some slack, ffs.
