1) 6 simple #Brexit questions
Questions never asked by TV interviewers of Brexiter MPs
@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson etc

"If you are confident alternative arrangements will work, why are you worried about the backstop which will only kick in if they *dont* work?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 2) "if no deal is so terrifying that the EU will buckle if it's threatened, how can it simultaneously be so easy that Yellowhammer and other reports are "project fear"?

How can it hurt the EU without hurting us to a greater degree?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 3) "you promised this would be easy, it's on record.

Why isn't it?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 4) "What right do you have to impose #Brexit when virtually every single poll in the last 3 years says an increasing number are against it? Which majority do you speak for?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 5) "what is the point of #Brexit? Yes we know people voted but if it's not about the economy and certainly not about parliamentary sovereignty then what's it for? What's the actual point?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 6) "if you wanted #Brexit so much, why did you block it? If you'd all voted for May's deal we'd have left by now so why blame parliament when you yourself blocked Brexit and forced an extension?"

@Peston @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson 7) and for bonus points...
"How on earth can you bring the country together when the 35% of the country and MPs who really want #Brexit *really* want the hardest brexit possible?

Who do you throw under the bus, 35% or 65%? Because there is no Brexit that satisfies both"
