Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been branded 'tone deaf' after his response to a 77-year-old's cost of living situation. Mr Johnson appeared on Good Morning Britain today (May 3) in an interview with Susanna Reid.
After hiding in a fridge to avoid questions from Piers Morgan in 2019, the Prime Minister was unable to dodge Susanna's persistent questioning in his first interview with GMB in five years. Following a discussion about the crisis in Ukraine, the interview turned to the cost of living crisis, with Susanna bringing up some examples of how people in the UK are struggling.
Susanna told Mr Johnson about the heartbreaking story of Elsie, a 77-year-old widow whose energy bills have risen from £17 a month to £85 a month.
