    For me, it just seemed that the Remain based parties made the better arguments more forcefully. Farage very poor, normally better than this but obviously he has his Conservative deal to protect

    As for Marr, I think that he was simply responding to the fact that Johnson wasn't actually answering the questions, but spinning his own interpretation of the questions so that he could get his sound bites in. A more forceful interviewer wouldn't let him get away with it. Marr realised he was only getting spin so wanted to move on in the little time he had. The problem for non Tories is that such an approach to interviewers (ignoring questions and simply saying what you want to say) can sound ok if you say it forcefully enough and the interviewer isn't strong enough to pin you down and embarrass you with the tactic. Hence, we won't go on Andrew Neill

    I think you have got the Marr interview spot on rp
    Lost count of the number of times Johnson mentioned how much the current state of affairs is all Labours fault & couldn't wait to use get Brexit Done mantra as did Nicky Morgan as did the pathetic Matt Hancock both on Good Morning Britain
    They are obviously speaking from a rehearsed script & that script was what Marr was battling against

    Aren’t they all the same labour blaming torys, torys blaming labour It’s a bit like school kids on playground slapping each other “miss Jeremy started it” “no miss Boris started it he slapped me first”

    I wonder if we will ever get a leader saying yeah we cocked up but don’t worry I know how to fix it
