Wednesday's edition of Good Morning Britain saw viewers switching off within minutes of a tense discussion, as former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng joined the panel.
Heated Debate Over Social Care Reform
Presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway led the programme on July 29, covering the latest government shake-ups. They were joined by political journalist Kevin Maguire and former Conservative Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng to discuss Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans for social care reform in England.
The conversation turned heated as Burnham called for 'substantial change' to the system supporting older people and working-age adults with disabilities. Maguire and Kwarteng clashed over how to implement those changes.
Viewers Furious Over Kwarteng's Presence
Despite the clash, many viewers were angry that Kwarteng was on the show at all. One posted on X: '#gmb We are not paying for electric to listen to the views of Britain's worst ever Chancellor, have turned off as we do every time he is on, hopefully others on here do the same.'
Another echoed: 'For some reason, we keep putting Kwasi Kwarteng on to discuss government policy after he managed to crash the UK economy with Liz Truss, which caused chaos for millions.'
