1) @BBC & #Brexit in a nutshell
The Chequers plan was widely reported as unworkable
Other media were reporting how the Tories were fighting over a pointless proposal deal
@bbcnickrobinson *must* have known this & yet like others in the BBC he's calling it a "slap in the face"

@BBC @bbcnickrobinson 2) Anyone paying any attention knew the EU would have to reject the over complicated & deeply flawed Chequers plan, it was just a matter of when & yet @KirstyWark described the rejection as "surprising", why?
There's only one story here, and it's actually news wise a good one

@BBC @bbcnickrobinson @KirstyWark 3) The Tories put together a #brexit plan not based on what was workable or good for the country but on what they could barely accept between themselves. They then fought over this deeply flawed & compromised fantasy whilst trying to convince themselves it was the actual deal
@BBC @bbcnickrobinson @KirstyWark 4) the government delayed for weeks, and then just before it was presented Gove went on TV to say we'd rip up any agreement when it suited us
Chequers was *never* going to fly
@bbcnickrobinson could have gone with this story
But "Salzburg Slap" is easy & soundbite friendly
