Housing Secretary Angela Rayner appeared on BBC Breakfast on Friday, prompting frustration among viewers who said they were switching off over her failure to provide specific answers on housing plans.
Rayner spoke to presenters Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt about her housing proposals and whether new Prime Minister Andy Burnham would freeze rents as part of cost of living measures. When Stayt pressed for more concrete details, suggesting Rayner sounded like she "is prevaricating," Rayner replied that she "knew it was frustrating" but was not in a position to make promises.
Viewer reactions
Viewers at home expressed their displeasure on social media. One said: "Well this will be a waste of time." Another added: "Good God, wish I'd been warned, had to switch over to Good Morning Britain!" A third agreed: "I’d turn over!"
A fourth viewer raged: "Angela Rayner proving on #bbcbreakfast that she will offer nothing different from her time under Starmer. ‘Takes times’." A fifth commented: "Angela Rayner nonsense, not 12000 yet but to say things move around and it can make delays. Utter nonsense, she waving planning through. Builders forecast their build completions on a quarterly basis. She hasn't a bloody clue."
