My worry there is what form does that take. You're bound to get a maverick. A newspaper will say take me to court. What do you do to a newspaper that's believes it's profoundly in the right? That refuses to pay a fine? Do you close it down. A good question - and how could the state shut down a newspaper? Jenkins argues that it's a slippery slope - that regulation implemented by the state can only get worse. 22.45 Church: "I agree with everything I've read in Leveson's report. The crux of this argument is all about statutory underpinning. Leveson has said to newspapers, you make your own rules; all the statutory underpinning should be able to do is make sure that there is a body where no rules can be enforced. 22.44 Wallis: "I don't know if they were designed to do that. The stories were unconscionable. Milly Dowler, 7/7 and the McCann family. The problem is that immediately you get state regulation then you leave a free press. Wallis attacking with much less bite than I expected - but instinctively oppositional to Leveson's proposal of a new regulator underpinned by statute. 22.40 FIRST QUESTION: Are the Leveson proposals an attack on a free press? Well, that one came out of nowhere. 22.39 Right, we're away 22.39 Not a week goes by without somebody criticising the BBC for perceived bias on its Question Time panel... Good to see the children's author getting stuck right in, of course, but I can't help feeling a twang of sympathy for the producers, who are tasked with balancing the panel politically, socially, racially and by gender - a Herculean task week in week out. 22.32 Michael Rosen - The remarkably prolific children's author (he's written 140 books) is an intriguing choice for tonight's twitter-only @BBCExtraGuest. He's the Children's Laureate. 22.28 Simon Jenkins - The former editor of the Times and the Evening Standard is still a familiar face as a columnist for the latter and also the Guardian.He has enjoyed an illustrious career in journalism and was knighted for his services to the trade in 2004. 22.26 Chris Bryant - the Cardiff-born Labour MP once trained to be a priest and enjoyed a stint in the Conservative Party before turning to Labour. More recently, he was critical of Cameron over the release of emails relating to the Leveson inquiry. Also, he once posted a picture of himself in his pants on Gaydar. 22.22 Neil Wallis - The former executive editor of the News of the World (who once paid out £600,000 to Charlotte Church) and tabloid man through-and-through could be a neat foil to Church. Apparently known to fellow journalists as the "wolf man" - a nickname that might hardly suggests a soft touch approach to his craft - he also once sat on the Press Complaints Commission - the regulatory body that Leveson seeks to replace. 22.17 Charlotte Church - The singer-songwriter and sometime TV presenter has recently been back in the spotlight after 2003 footage emerged in which Piers Morgan appeared to be telling her about how a "spate of stories" resulted from the hacking of phones. Always an interesting personality to watch - and a vociferous critic of the tabloid press - Charlotte Church's appearance on Question Time (surely her first) is likely to be engaging. 22.14 On to tonight's panel. Patrick McLoughlin - The Transport Secretary and Conservative MP for the Derbyshire Dales is one of a handful of MPs who've worked in manual labour prior to making it to Parliament - he spent five years as a farm worker and worked underground at the Littleton Colliery in Cannock. He was also, of course, was just a week into his job as Transport Secretary when he had to cancel the award of the InterCity West Coast franchise after flaws in the bidding process were exposed. This week, Dimbleby and co are in Swansea, and everybody will be reeling from the verdict of Lord Justice Leveson, whose pronouncements on the state of journalism have dominated the news agenda. Tonight's panel features tabloid victim Charlotte Church, tabloid editor Neil Wallis, broadsheet editor Simon Jenkins and two MPs to boot. So it's set to be another episode of swirling, incestuous discussions by the media about the media - a theme you're probably all too familiar with if you have been watching Question Time at all over the last couple of weeks.
