The programme which is goes out live on a Friday and repeated on a Saturday, consisted of Welsh secretary David TC Davies, Plaid MP Liz Saville- Roberts, Labour MS Eluned Morgan and businessman Henry Engelhardt.
The secretary of state for Wales, David TC Davies was asked to give his reaction to the news as a minister in the government and said: “Boris got it right on Ukraine. Boris got it right on the vaccine programme, and Boris had it right on Brexit.”
His response was jeered by the audience.
The thundering, rapturous applause in response to the Johnson news during the #bbcaq recording this evening is *perfect* 👌

DTCD sounds like weed killer and banned by the EU…
For those who don’t want to listen, Davies said “the impartiality we have come to expect from a BBC audience”. Thoroughly deserved the jeers
Oh the irony, when the BBC have said they have top loaded question time audiences with pro Tory pro Brexit people, this sniveling gutter snipe Davies, has to complain, when a convicted liar, bigamist, narcissist gets jeered. And no, he didn’t get the vaccine done here, as health is devolved, showing you’re ignorance again eh.
David Davies is a visceral performance artist, lacking in political nous or diplomacy. Cymru deserves so much better than this.
Andrew RT Davies, was asked by ITV Wales “Does BJ lie?” Answer a big fat “NO” Says it all really.
Johnson first the rest of this Tory rabble next at the next GE and that includes the sycophant Davies.
The people of the Red Dragon, awakens. David TC Davies, belongs east of the border.
