Fiona Bruce is an ambassador of Refuge so should know not to minimise any domestic violence.

Usual fuss about nowt. She only reported what his friends said. We don't know for sure of course, but if it was the only act of violence against her, it was a one off. Can't see that that is defending violence against women.

“The minute Boris Johnson becomes prime minister. I'm leaving the country,” writes Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Has she f*cked off yet? Did she leave and then come back?

What would the response have been if anyone centre or left in the Beeb had made that comment?

Fiona Bruce

Final Beeb story.

Screwed up on Question Time over Stanley Johnson's wife beating. He whose son is trying to give him a knighthood.

(Don't the Royals do the honour and isn't the Queen consort against Domestic violence?)

A Labour MP has accused Fiona Bruce of trivialising “violence against women” after a discussion on Question Time.
The presenter was chairing the weekly politics show when one of the guests, journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, described former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s father Stanley as “a wife beater”.

Bruce then explained to the audience: “Stanley Johnson’s wife spoke to a journalist, Tom Bower, and she said Stanley Johnson had broken her nose and she had ended up in hospital as a result.

“Stanley Johnson has not commented publicly on that. Friends of his have said it did happen, it was a one off.”

That exchange prompted MP Kate Osborne to tweet: “ #InternationalWomensDay this week and #bbcqt Fiona Bruce trivalises violence against women: Stanley Johnsons friends say “it was a one off” that he broke his wife’s nose Disgraceful.”
