Question Time breaks new ground on Thursday night with its first ever broadcast from the Houses of Parliament. But Monkey reckons one of the panellists, poet Benjamin Zephaniah, may be feeling rather uncomfortable. When Zephaniah turned down an OBE in 2003 he said he was "shocked to see how many of my fellow writers jumped at the opportunity to go to Buckingham Palace" and railed against black poets who "are so easily seduced into the great house of Babylon known as the palace". Well, because parliament is a royal palace, he'll actually be on official royal territory during Question Time. Monkey wonders if you'll Eat Your Words, Benjamin.
