ITV Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley slammed by viewers for asking Lisa Nandy to 'define a woman'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Richard Madeley only returned to Good Morning Britain yesterday after a two-month break and it hasn't taken long for him to ruffle viewers' feathers.

The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV news programme on Wednesday (October 12) alongside Susanna Reid bringing the latest headlines, debates, and entertainment news to viewers.

Among today's guests was Lisa Nandy whose appearance on the programme comes after Labour MP Sam Tarry was ousted in a de-selection vote after giving interviews from a National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) picket line.

Susanna was quick to question Ms Nandy on why she didn't get the same treatment. "Sam Tarry, who was a frontbencher, was sacked for being at an RMT demonstration, would Sir Keir Starmer appear on a picket line alongside striking workers, you have?" Ms Nandy explained she was meeting her constituents and was not picketing as her job is "to hold the Government to account as people need a pay rise".

Ms Nandy responded: "My own understanding is Tarry was sacked for doing unauthorised media appearances and announcing policies which had not been agreed." Nandy was also quizzed by the hosts on numerous other topics, but it was Richard who quizzed the Labour MPover a topic the Labour leader has also been questioned on.
