Manic Street Preachers have been asked to appear on Question Time.

The band tweeted about it last night - and mused about potentially unleashing their alter ego sweary spin doctor.

Been asked to do question time again- time to unleash my inner nye bevan/malcolm tucker(thick of it)onto the tv screens of britain???x

But it looks like they've turned it down, with a follow up tweet reading "maybe not".

The likes of Jarvis Cocker, Alex James and John Lydon have all previously been on the political debate show.
