GMB: Kwasi Kwarteng reflects on King's Speech moments

Fans of Good Morning Britain bashed the ITV show today (July 18) as Kwasi Kwarteng made an appearance to talk about the country's finances and the current state of politics. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer joined presenters Richard Madeley and Charlotte Hawkins as a guest on the show.

The former MP seems to have turned his attentions to being a political commentator after standing down from parliament earlier this year. Back in February, the MP for Spelthorne in Surrey said on X (formerly Twitter) that it had been an "honour to serve the residents of Spelthorne since 2010."But as he spoke about finances on GMB this morning, fans at home were less than impressed as they branded his segment a "car crash" which was "unwatchable". Posting to X, one user complained: "Kwasi Kwarteng is having a car crash on #gmb with his new gig as a political commentator. He’s sweating like a pig and constantly talking over others on the panel".Another bashed the ITV show, saying it was a "disgraceful" choice having him on the show, writing: "#GMB why have you got Kwasi on? He has cost the public so much pain and financial pain through his ridiculous mini budget - raising people's mortgages to an astronomical rate - disgraceful."
