If you've been missing 18 Doughty Street...
Alex Singleton (London)  Media & Journalism

…then you should check out Right On, a 15 minute weekly programme from Telegraph TV. Unlike BBC programmes, it is advertiser-funded; it uses Telegraph journalists with the production outsourced to ITN. The libertarian-leaning show each week features a studio debate, a short segment of Iain Dale and Simon Heffer arguing, and Andrew Pierce's take on Westminster gossip. In the latest episode, Ann Widdecombe - who should know better as an elected politician - throws a hissy fit under questioning about taxpayer money being spent on the second homes of MPs.

Comments

Hah, that was incredible. After the initial hissy from Ann Widdecombe they both just kept baiting her again and again. Consider the last twenty seconds. Genius!

This is a hell of a lot better than the pussy, leftist programmes like Newsnight and the Today programme that the Beeb makes us pay for.

Ann's appauling behaviour is indicative of the total arrogance of MPs - making demands on the presenter and acting with such sanctimonious superiority.
