seeing jo swinson lose her seat at the last election was one of the happiest moments in my life, and seeing this made me relive it; thanks!

Love him or hate him, but I will always respect straight talkers who say what they think and mean it.

I like Starkey.

David Starkey had a point. Basically that audience member was saying, leave that argument at the door, because us Labour supporters find it inconvenient and difficult to argue against.

David Starkey is a fucking legend. Cleverest person in that room by a landslide.

No malarkey around Starkey.

I'm a woman and i wasnt insulted at all by Starsky's comment. He was joking. Women make generalized jokes about men too. Women like these are why men say we are humorless.

I love the way Dimblebey stops Starkey from responding to the personal attack right at the end and finishes it off with a cowardly little smile.

Pity the BBC won't let him on anymore, too near the truth. Question time is the worse for it, pointless to watch these days.

Starkey is great, no messing around, and he knows his facts

I fucking love you david

Unsurprisingly we don’t see much of David Starkey on the BBC anymore

Should see David Starkey destroy Laurie Penny

He's brilliant. The point of bringing Starkey on is that he actually will argue his position with facts based on precedent.

Starkey is a national treasure and knows what he's talking with facts.

I know you guys seem to dislike this guy and I'm an American so I don't really follow the political situation in the UK, but I feel like this guy might be getting a bad rap for standing up for himself. In every one of the videos that I've seen this guy go off on someone, it always starts with some shitheel making some kind of personal remark instead of debating his position or taking his sarcasm seriously. Sometimes a video edits out that part to make him look more like a bully, but if you watch the full videos of what transpires it seems someone always makes some deeply personal, and thinly veiled insult, before he brings it into the light. Then that person seems to shy away and play victim. The man is hilarious with a biting wit. In this day and age of always keeping the kid gloves on when dealing with subtle personal attacks, I appreciate his directness.

Gotta love Starkey! There's nowhere near enough plain, blunt speaking in political debate in this country nowadays.

What a legend he is.

David Starkey rocks!

The panel trying to bash Starkey over sexism is like watching wild dogs trying to steal food from a lion. Starkey intellectually decimates these fools I front of the whole nation.

What they don't realise is that Starkey is more intelligent than everyone in that room combined.

QT without Brexit being mentioned. Hard to believe the word didn't even exist at this time.

Great stuff from Dr David Starkey. Don't always agree, but he's a great thinker and eloquent contributor to any meeting managed by the dreadful BBC.

The only one reasonable enough in the panel was David Starkey himself. The rest was too busy talking about sexism when confronting him, as for the tax system - no one came up with anything worthy.

I'm American and so I admit I don't know much about British politics or what the issues are here...but I just have to say this David Starkey guy is freaking hilarious! I love his dry humor! "I'm not, I'm flattering him!" LOL

David Starkey talking to a room full of children

I'm waiting for a panel/group discussion (maybe debate) between Nigel Farage, Peter Hitchens, Daniel Hannan, Douglas Murray and David Starkey.

Starkey is someone the BBC is afraid of - he speaks his mind.

3:07 The face of "Wrecked"

David Starkey is brilliant

You know you're in for a treat when Starkey's on the panel!

This is like watching a tiger toy with an injured rabbit

god that sily woman in the red just wont let go of that sexism card will she!!!

Yeah the footballer will sort it all out

We need more Starkeys, he really is a breath of fresh air.

Well played Mr Starkey your intelligence is clearly evident during this discussion, I agree labour wrecked everything last time they cannot stop spending, as you have said politics of the heart and not the head.

So much love for this man

Arise, Sir David Starkey.

He didn't insult John Redwood. He was being sarcastic. By referring to John as an alien he was mocking the sentimentality of the left-wing politics that seeks to classify tories as elitists and unrelatable because of their seemingly ruthless policies when in fact he was making the point that these seemingly ruthless policies are necessary to rescue the economy after Labour's failings.

him and starkey seem to be the only ones saying what they really honestly feel. everyone else seems to let their mind go through a sive of political correctness before allowing themselves to say it. starkey is a man who has realised this, we have got to a point in society where everyone conforms way too easily and live in fear of saying something practical because it could result in them being 'labelled'.

Funny how every single woman decided to call David Starkey sexist over something that could just as easily be interpreted as a compliment. Ridiculous.

All parties are always arguing about where the money's coming from. They blythly manage to ignore the fact that it always comes from the same place, US. That's a distraction. the pertinent question is, WHERE'S IT GOING?

1:47 “oh shit I don’t have an answer and he’s drilling down into the detail”

Love David Starkey. What a hero! All politicians deserve to be insulted at all times.

I just discovered Starkey and I'm never going back!

I'm bored of moses! Haha. Brilliant

Is anyone else as shocked as me that Starkey didn't once mention Disraeli?? 😂

Full marks to Dr Starkey!

David Starkey is a star. He is not just a mouthy know-it-all he really does run rings around most of the people who he is up against. The other thing to note about him is that he really enjoys giving good value to his audience. Only Jeremy Clarkson and possibly Russell Brand have more fun living up to their own stereotypes.

I forgot Jo Swinson existed until I saw this.

What a Legend

Listen and learn to the common sense spoken by David Starky - the only panel member who is not afraid to say what he thinks. What a great guy!!

Never heard of him before, but I quite like Starkey..

Ah, the days when QT was enjoyable.

Stick a thermal exchanger on the Question Time ceiling, the hot air will power half the National Grid.

It took me a while, but then I realised that the only reason I even recognised John Redwood was for his miming of the Welsh national anthem.

You can't malarky the Starky.

go on starkey, you absolute legend

Fortunately we are not likely to see Starkey on our screens ever again.

I love Dr Starkey. Thoroughly sensible and truthful.

Ironically, Starkey says that Redwood is not human and can’t process emotions yet at 3:34 it is Redwood who is embarrassed at Starkey’s attack on the audience member. That said, I agree with Starkey. The audience member doesn’t argue a position.

Starkey literally owns everyone!

Starkey delivers a shit sandwich right between the teeth of anyone who comes close to stopping him from talking. Really, only the brutally honest can be this brutal.

I can't believe people were actually annoyed with Starkey over this. The women are offended because he says they think with their hearts? They just want any excuse to dislike him.

He’s an absolute legend. What a great guy.

I love how people tut and sigh at David Starky, and then a few seconds later pause and go...actually he's exactly right.

He wasn't insulting Redwood, he was suggesting that he is intelligent.

The audience member didn't like a fact that was less than two years old.

The redhead in the last quarter was dead right. Economic literacy is so rare.

AT DE DOOOOWRRR

David Starkey is amazing

Starkey is a quality speaker. Precise and concise. As he said, which is completely correst, it is all facts! What a shame nobody has the balls to directly answer important issues

"Ladies like the heart" is sexist? Are we really going to pretend that male and female psychology are identical?

Why do you have the insolence to think that your opinion is better than anybody else’s?! David Starkey cracks me up 😂😂

I like the way he says 'issue' lol

Starkey is brilliant. We do have intellectual politicians but they are constrained by elections, he isn't so he can say exactly what he thinks. He has enormous intellect and eats people like the man at 2:40 for breakfast. That man will never go back on a public TV programme again!

I wanna see David Starkey vs Katie Hopkins

Starkey's a national treasure! ;-)

2020: The government has never spent so much money, yet still the roads are full of holes

I'm pleasantly surprised to see someone involved in football to be both intelligent and clear ...

Did Labour wreck virtually every economy in Europe?

His father worked in a washing machine factory and his mother was a cleaner. He brought himself out of the gutter. It's absurd to say he has no idea about real life. He knows far more about it than the rest of the panel, and he most certainly isn't a liar.

Fair enough he insulted john redwood but I dident see him insult anyone else.

Tell 'em Dr Starkey!

Starkey is so rude. These were better days when smug people needed to face rude people. Now it's only smug people and the BBC is unbearable.

I agree with Starkey on many things, at least he's saying what a lot of people are thinking and doesn't mince his words unlike most of the slippery snake politicians and other public figures! Not sure about that sexist comment though, I hope it was tongue in cheek!

What a legend.

It is absolutely amazing that none of these individuals nor the panelists discussed the simple fact that to reduce taxes you simply reduce spending. There is a direct correlation when either increasing or NOT-diminishing expenditures and then for revenues. If you were to cut expenditures, which means the government must stop spending, then you wouldn't have this continuous problem of revenues = taxes. Every participant in economics, whether it be the individual, Corporation, small business or other entity must do with less when the markets are thin and must reduce expenditures to survive, with the exception of government. Why are they excused from the simple principles of economics? They shouldn't be.

tee hee david i love you

David’s a national treasure

Clark contradicts himself because he says that footballers are only too happy to contribute towards tax but then defends them when they're accused of tax avoidance.

The “tax avoidance” audience member was quite attractive

TopTellyFan: _"What a pillock!"_ Your viewers disagree.

Didn't realise greengrocers were at the 'bottom of the scale'

Nice edit of the nodding dog

How did we get here - today?

Love David Starkey's put down of the bolshie audience member.

I used to watch him on a saturday night just before match of the day ... Solving crimes with his partner hutch

The irony, it burns.

To be insulted by Mr. S I would count as a medal. To find myself agreeing with him would be scary.
