Adil Ray and Kate Garraway came under fire from fans on today's Good Morning Britain . The ITV show welcomed on Labour's Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, with viewers at home bashing the presenters for not giving him enough of a grilling. They were discussing the budget, which was released earlier this week, as Rachel Reeves announced a number of financial changes for the country including £40 billion tax rises.
Questioning the guest MP, Kate described the budget as "tough", "painful", and a "tough pill to swallow". Mr Jones responded by saying that the Labour is fully committed to not increasing income tax or national insurance rates for employees and that promise will not be broken by this government. However, fans at home felt that Kate and Adil's line of questioning was not harsh enough, considering that the budget was having a negative impact on so many people.
Taking to social media, viewers shared their frustrations. One user on X/Twitter wrote: "Darren Jones having to explain basics to someone who just can't grasp the basics. Inheritance Tax is payable on inheritance, Kate.
" Another added: "@GMB @adilray @kategarraway @darrenpjones Brilliant as usual from Darren Jones. Both presenters totally clueless. At least know the full facts before interviewing somebody so articulate and knowledgeable from the Treasury.
Deary me!!!!!#EpicFail." A third penned: "@GMB How refreshing this morning that SKY gave Darren Jones a proper grilling even getting him to admit .
