I haven't seen the interview in question so really can't comment on the specifics but in general having seen snippets of Piers past interviews on GMB I have to say that he's not suitable for the role of interviewer.
I grew up watching Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight in the 1990's and have to say his style was correct. Questioning politicians and extracting answers is a necessity and expected in this age but there has to be an innate courtesy and respect (but not to the point of sycophancy and deference pre Robin Day). Emily Maitlis and Kirsty Wark and IMO excellent examples of the required style.
As regards the twitter nastiness I'm saddened but not surprised. I do feel as @allnewphil stated above that the fate of poor Caroline Flack (RIP) still hasn't sunk In with the f-wits in this world.
