Rob Barber gained public notoriety after being identified as the audience member on Question Time who claimed despite earning over £80,000.00 per annum, he was not part of the top 5% of UK earners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.184.160 (talkcontribs) 18:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[1]Reply

I dispute that Barber has gained enough notoriety from his idiotic comments on one QT episode to be eligible for a Wikipedia article.

The following information needs adding to the article.

Became Nationally famous in the UK when he appeared on BBC's Question time on the 21st November 2019 accusing the Labour Party of lying that earning over £80,000 did not put him in the top 5% earners in the UK, even though it did.
