BREAKING: BBC viewers call for Fiona Bruce to be ‘sacked’ after ‘biased’ Question Time performance: ‘Nobody approves of her. Get rid of her!’

Fiona Bruce has sparked fury from Question Time viewers who accused her of “biased” reporting following Thursday’s edition of the show. During the latest episode of the debate show, Bruce was presenting from Horsham in West Sussex.

On the panel, the BBC presenter spoke with police minister Chris Philp MP, Labor’s shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland Peter Kyle MP, editor of the Economist Zanny Minton Beddoes, spoken-word artist George the Poet, and Conservative peer and chairman of Asda Lord Stuart.

During the episode, Lord Stuart was praised for an impassioned response he gave in answer to a question about whether the UK’s asylum system is in crisis. The Asda chairman said: “We should get away from this playground chat. “My mother was an immigrant, I probably wouldn’t get into this country today. Many more were left angry with the host’s general performance as chair of the panel.

One person racked up thousands of likes on a tweet which read: “WHO THINKS FIONA BRUCE SHOULD BE REPLACED ON QUESTION TIME? HER BIAS IS EVERMORE APPARENT.” Another fumed: “I’m frankly tired of seeing Fiona Bruce trending every week and reading hundreds of universally negative accounts of her performance on #bbcqt. “Nobody approves of her. They’re all sick of her perceived bias. And the BBC acts as if nothing is happening. Get rid of her!”
