Privacy NoticeOn Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway were at the helm, delivering the day’s top stories. However, the presenting duo didn’t quite hit the mark with viewers as they engaged in a conversation with MP Robert Jenrick about the recent riots taking place across the nation. They also delved into the findings of a new survey indicating that more than half of British citizens think Conservative governments bear some blame for the current unrest. But as the interview progressed, audiences at home noticed that the hosts repeatedly cut off their guest, prompting frustration. One viewer vented on Twitter: “Will Ed and Kate SHUT UP! Let people finish their points without your CONSTANT interruption! Sick of it now.” Another was clearly upset, tweeting: “Personally thought this was a terrible interview, Ed Balls and Kate didn’t give the man time to answer, and Ed Balls smug face when they showed him the video of him in parliament,” reports the Mirror.
GMB fans were less than impressed with the two presenters

Someone else commented: “What a terrible interview… was never allowed to answer a question…. 2 tier interviewing.” (sic) While speaking to the MP, things got slightly heated between Jenrick and Garraway while discussing the riots. Touching on the poll results, Garraway said: “More than half of them [Brits] have said, they think Tory governments of the past 14 years do bear some responsibility for it, because of the rhetoric that’s been used, do you regret some of the rhetoric that’s been used?” Shaking his head, he replied: “Absolutely not, let me be-”
GMB viewers weren’t happy with the constant interruptions when Jenrick was being interviewed
A third chimed in with criticism, saying: “What a terrible interview… was never allowed to answer a question…. 2 tier interviewing.” (sic). Tensions rose during the discussion with Jenrick, particularly in an exchange with Garraway over the riot situation. Garraway, touching on the poll results, asked: “More than half of them [Brits] have said, they think Tory governments of the past 14 years do bear some responsibility for it, because of the rhetoric that’s been used, do you regret some of the rhetoric that’s been used?”
The discussion turned a bit tense when speaking about the riots
In response, he shook his head and firmly stated: “Absolutely not, let me be-“. However, the GMB host interrupted him, asking once again if he had any regrets, which he denied. He continued: “Let me be completely clear, it is the responsibility of elected politicians, and political leaders to discuss topics like migration. “If you or sections of the media want to shut that down, what will happen is that it will lead to the far-right and extreme groups rising up.” Jenrick explained to the hosts that he has long argued that if parties of the centre-right or centre-left don’t discuss migration, then people should expect extreme voices to rise up.
