What does ​Emily Maitlis's Brexit eye-roll really mean?

Amid the endless news coverage of Brexit, some commentators have said the BBC Newsnight presenter’s exasperation during interview with Labour's Barry Gardiner summed up the national mood

Anyone else here after watching A Very Royal Scandal

[patrickfarrell]

She's frustrated with the BS from all sides. Could anyone blame her?

[jameswhite]

Newsflash, Emily maitlis has been shortlisted for this year's kalergi coudenhove medal by the EU.

[davidheseltine]

The Labour membership will decide what is on the manifesto. That's how it works now. Eye roll all you want Emily.

[WestdalAndHayward]

I don’t know but she ought to be careful, with an eye roll like that she could reverse the Earths rotation!

[rhodriwilliams]

“What is your plan for brexit?” “Our plan is to make a plan for brexit as the people voted for” “so you haven’t got a plan?” “No we don’t have a plan”

[Trylk]

It means she’s an opinionist not a journalist

[simonarnold]

Brilliant! She reflected how the nation was feeling. I wonder what she was writing?

[paulgibbons]

Zahawi certainly has pulled his hair out.
'Let me be absolutely clear'
- We are clueless.-
Maitlis is Brexit eye roll denotes her frustration with the Labour Partys never ending capacity to ignore the reality of it.

This woman (Emily) is reported to earn more than £220, 000 per year, like over £18, 000 a month. Outrageous, why are we paying this massive sum of money, for what? Do let me know if this sum is wrong, but I suspect not.

[davidabcdc]

It means that she can't act in a professional manner. She didn't get an answer she wanted, so she did what amounted to a small tantrum.

[poisonouscouscous]

My face when a tv licence bill arrives in the post.

[themightydash]

It means she is NOT an impartial journalist. Simple.

[chome]

It means: 'The things I've got to put up with for a six-figure salary that usually involves reading a teleprompter in a warm studio'!

[ome]

Watched this live and thought she was very rude to him compared to the other two MPs. A few times I thought it was very clear she sided with the MP on his right. I was genuinely surprised by her interviewing at the time as it was far from impartial looking and I normally find her quite nice.

[amaninthestreet]

I bet she rolled her eyes like this when someone asked her if she could move her dog off the train seat. SO ENTITLED these London elites.

[bazjoan]

What's the point of this short please ?

[stevedean]

I share her frustration. Barry Gardiner was waffling as was Zahari . A front bench opposition of Blair, Brown, Darling, Balls and David Milliband would take this lot to the cleaners !

[andrewmogg]

Labour's Bumbling Barry explaining Labour's not yet decided position (s) on Brexit.

[RadicalCaveman]

It means that, like most people in the British media, Maitlis is rude, condescending, and biased against Labour.
