1) Thread - Absolutely agree with @bbcnickrobinson here. It is the right of journalists to ask tough questions of people in power
It is however also arguably a duty.
As we enter the end game of this #Brexit shambles, here's some "tough questions" that should have been asked

@bbcnickrobinson 2) to Andrea Leadsom, famous Brexiter:
"Ms. Leadsom, you said #Brexit would have no impact on the economy. How did your 30 years of financial experience let you down so badly?

@bbcnickrobinson 3) Question for Lord Digby Jones, ex CBI and regular BBC pundit
"Lord Digby Jones, you said not a single job lost from #Brexit, that was utter nonsense, wasn't it?"

@bbcnickrobinson 4) Question for Micheal "we've had enough of Experts" Gove
"Mr Gove, you told people there'd be a few 'bumps in the road' but that #Brexit would be easy. How could anyone describe this utter shambles as that? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

@bbcnickrobinson 5) one for Boris Johnson
"Mr Johnson you published this utopian vision the day after the #Brexit result. How on earth do you reconcile your "hard Brexit/f**k business" current position with this naive 'cake & eat it' fantasy?"

@bbcnickrobinson 6) David Davis MP, leading light in the conservative Brexit movement
"Mr Davis, you used to be a minister for Europe. You're a long standing #Brexit supporter. Why were you promoting impossible bi-lateral deals after the ref. Why didn't you know this was illegal?"

@bbcnickrobinson 7) in fact we could go on, through the various "access to the single market is the same as membership" nonsense, the "they need us more than we need them" fantasies and the general naivety (or dishonesty) of the #Brexit leaders
@bbcnickrobinson 8) it should be the easiest job in journalism
"You said this, it's on camera, it was only 2 years ago.
what do you say now?
What were you thinking?
What were you *smoking*??"
Truth to power
Tough questions
Would be great to see some of this
