I watch Newsnight most nights and that's the opinion I have formed and even though I think Evan is the strongest on there I think if they were to take on a woman she would have done a good job. These are a couple of examples where she pressed hard:

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Agree with this.
Fiona might be nice to look at, but she's a news reader and doesn't really do interviews, if at all.
Maitlis is equally nice to look at, or arguably nicer to look at, but it's her job to interview people, especially those who have no intention of expressing their real feelings on serious matters.
Fiona Bruce 
Yeah she's been great. People forget that she is a steely, talented journo that takes no shit. No PC gone mad appointment as DM readers bleat, she's been really good.Fiona Bruce
I was favouring Emily Maitlis, but Bruce has been impressive.
I swear Nish has done the Groundhog day joke before. Which is meta.
Bruce is ok, so long as it doesn't go to her head and she tries to make it 'the fiona bruce show' like Paxman at newsnight. Hopefully not.
God I remember Weaste making a thread on her back in the day, admiring her qualities, but lamenting her small boobs.
I thought Fiona Bruce did a very good job.
I thought that was some kind of sexual euphemism until I read on.
I missed it but had basically decided I'd be giving the programme the swerve now she's in the chair. I find she can't read the news without making it quite clear how she feels about what she's reading so feared the worst with her in the middle of that panel. If she's done ok I'll give it a shot next week.
I literally can't stand her though. Voice, face you name it. Even her shoes wind me up.
You can't even see her shoes if she's sit behind a desk.
Good point but I know they're there.
Andrew Neil has just praised her on Twitter. This is adding to my reasons for boycotting.
Meanwhile Owen Jones can grate a little but fair fecks to him here...
Well... This QT audience is full of idiots
It's interesting how many times Labour's reps say 'we have said' or 'it was decided at conference' rather than 'I believe' or 'I want'.
Diane Abbott, I think they should have sent someone else.
Eddie Redmayne seems to have his head screwed on. Slightly.
Watching the audience cheering at the prospect of a No Deal Brexit... turkeys voting for Christmas
Imagine cheering a sentence "well David Cameron said it was a one in a life time vote..."

This Week.
Quite attracted to Heidi Allen.

Shit so we're comparing Brexit to John, Charles I and William III
hmm
I didn't mention it at the time but you've just reminded me. Abbott said quite clearly this week that 'the Labour party voted at their conference to hold a second referendum'. They did not, there were demonstrations from the delegates and hangers-on for one throughout the week, whilst the leadership refused to debate it, until at the last minute, faced with defeat, they weaseled a 'we won't rule one out'.
Is Abbott so dumb she can't remember what happened over the biggest question of her own conference, or was she deliberately lying on the assumption we're all too dumb to remember? Who knows.

Two shows in and Fiona Bruce has already made herself the story.
Doomed to failure.
Doomed to failure.
tbf, Abbott is perfectly capable of making a fool of herself without having to 'whip up' the audience.
Exactly, so let her crack on with it and then the presenter doesn't become the story. Qt and the beeb in general are bloody awful.
I could be remembering wrong, but I thought they did vote at grassroots level for a new referendum but then it got watered down through committee into the meaningless shite they ended up with?
I remember daily demonstrations for one and McDonnell intially saying it was not their policy, but not sure what voting at grassroots level is, which means you might be right I suppose.
Essentially yeah, it got New Laboured.
BBC has turned into a farce.
I'm on the verge of going down the non License fee route. There's some good drama on there but enough elsewhere to get stuck into and the BBC stuff can be picked up on at a later date.
Ever since the Tories did their whole restructuring thing under "Call me Dave", it's been downhill.
I don't know if I can cope with this tonight.
How can you have someone from the Express on?
They only know how to lie.
First response, gerronwivit.

Self appointed MPs.
Labour's policy as clear as ever.
First time I've tuned in in a while, good to see the QT audience still clap anything.
Love the idea that the EU are going to cave for £39bn.
Barnier doesn't get out of bed for that.
Exactly, in the grand scheme of things its nothing.
Brexit kids are the worst.
