This is why he’s avoided GMB for five years.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

I do not watch the BBC because it pretends to be impartial and hold government to account. It does not such thing as instead it is a government mouthpiece. State broadcaster, after all. GMB is not perfect by any means and sometimes it plays into right wing talking points. It is also clear sometimes where the presenter is coming from politically when their own views should be hidden. But ultimately ITV's objective is to make money through adverts, which is more honest than the BBC pretending it is actually doing what it should be. By far some of the tougher interviews with government or anyone else for that matter are on GMB.

I can't help but this remind me of what happened in Ireland with the famine. The British government would not stop British companies taking food out of Ireland, and wouldn't supply Ireland with extra food, because they believed in a "free market economy" and didn't want the government to interfere with companies doing what they wanted. As a result, millions of Irish died, the only country in the world today, to have a smaller population than it did 150 years ago. Today, Boris Johnson refuses to tax these energy corporations, because he believes in this "free market economy", and British people are going to suffer, not as badly as the Irish, but it's the same ideology that caused millions to die in Ireland and India, and result is going to be the suffering of a lot of people.

"The Irish didn't help themselves" I'm sure you could come up with several ways in which the Irish could have done something negligible, but the fact is, they were under British rule, and forced to export, during a famine, the food which could have saved their lives.

It also isn't a 24 hour bus pass, its only useable from 9:30am-11:30pm Does Johnson know or understand anything? Is he even bothered?

“Car Crash” is an understatement. “Horror Show” is more appropriate. He doesn’t have a f’ing clue.

Susanna Reid is class. Excellent questions and great pushback to this clown's bollocks filibustering.

[@davewilson9738]

Now this is a perfect example of someone not listening to the question or the issue. Thatcher privatised the energy companies in the 80's to invest in the infrastructure of this country and 40 years later Johnson is saying they still need to do it? WTF have they spent our money on during these years? This is bloody appalling in one of the richest countries on the planet.

[@nickdoughty518]

Are we really rich? Check out our Current Account Deficit which is the worst in the OECD and we have a national debt of £2.3 Trillion. I think you will find we aren't.

[@YouTube-are-Trump-Toilet-Crud]

@@nickdoughty518 wow, those appalling statistics, after 12 years of Tory rule too. Tories truly are fraudsters, deceivers, cheats and utter shysters. The conservative deplorables, led by King Liar Johnson. Only corrupt criminals will be voting for the corrupt criminal Tories in the local Elections on 5th May! Vote, Vote, Vote, anyone, just NOT a TORY shyster!

Aren't most energy companies now foreign-owned?

The increase to her monthly payment is wrong. The cost has not risen by the amount to justify her increase. She needs to contact her energy company. Energy companies are increasing peoples monthly payments by too much, to offset the predicted rise in October. It was all to tug the heart strings, nothing else.

[@gaenordeacon9431]

@@vtechead1 but there will be an increase

[@vtechead1]

@@gaenordeacon9431 yes but not as much as she was increased. It’s a common issue regarding the power companies. Some people are having their monthly bills increased by a 150 percent. Energy has not risen by 150 percent. Energy companies can provide help for those struggling with payments, she needs to contact them. She will not be cut off.
