This morning's The Andrew Marr Show was so striking that I thought I'd share a selection of views on it with you from my social media feed. Enjoy!
Toby Young: Andrew Marr talking over Boris Johnson, not letting him answer the question, hectoring him, asking him if he’d like to apologise for everything under the sun… this isn’t a political interview. It’s bear-baiting. Can’t we have a little less heat and a bit more light?
Guido Fawkes: Someone re-boot Marr he just keeps saying “10 years”.
Dan Hodges: Andrew Marr is now becoming a parody of Andrew Marr becoming a parody of Jeremy Paxman.
A Libertarian Rebel: The difference between Andrew Neil &Andrew Marr is that Neil asks politicians they can't answer and then allows them to show it, while Marr asks them questions they can answer, but then doesn't allow them to show it. Neil is a journalist. Marr is an activist.
David Buik: And in the Blue corner the PM and in the Red corner - Andrew Marr! What a shambles! It is about as bad tempered an interview I have ever heard! Thoroughly visceral and nasty - just awful!
Dan Hodges: Marr now speaking so much anyone tuning in would think he's a guest on the Boris Johnson Show.
Dan Hodges: "You're chuntering". Marr just resorting to abuse now.
Dan Hodges: I don't want to come across like I'm channeling my inner-Corbynite. But I really do think when this election is over there needs to be serious examination of what's happening to BBC political programming. That was farcical.
Toby Young: Marr: Are you worried Donald Trump may something embarrassing?
Boris: Well…
Marr: I’m sorry, we’re out of time.
Boris: Let me answer the question…
Marr: I’m sorry, we’re out of time.
[Craig - That really is what happened!]
Dan Hannan: I’m normally a Marr fan, but he let himself down there. What is the point of asking someone onto your programme - let alone the PM - if you’re going to start talking across them two words into every answer they give?
And, by way of contrast, here's the BBC's Stephen Nolan:
Well done Andrew Marr. Great interview with the PM.
