Extraordinary performance from John Humphrys, interviewing Keir Starmer after resignation of the Cabinet Minister in charge of Brexit. Spluttering, hectoring, making it about Labour, suggesting the resignation is no big deal as Brexit policy is run from No10 anyway. #r4today
For balance, Nick Robinson should now be interviewing Jeremy Hunt *equally* aggressively about the Davis resignation and govt Brexit policy. But no, he’s respectfully putting a contrary point of view, letting him put his case and not talking over him. #r4today #HumphrysMustGo
Oh. Brexit paralysis would be extremely damaging, would it, Jeremy Hunt? How it would look any different from what we’ve been living through for the last year? #BrexitShambles #r4today
Why is John Humphrys talking respectfully, courteously & calmly to David Davis about his resignation when he was so rude and aggressive with Keir Starmer, interrupting, trying to throw him off balance? (Rhetorical question; don’t @ me) #r4today #HumphrysMustGo #BBCfail
John Humphrys and David Davis acccidentally start talking at the same time and it’s all “No, go ahead-“, “No, after you...”. Chums. #r4today
In terms of personal political motivation, key thing about David Davis resignation is to put him in the same space as Boris Johnson: if it’s all going to shit (spoiler: it is), not my fault & if we had done it my way, things would be better. #ArseCovering
