Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley generated a backlash from viewers for his comments on working from home on this morning's ITV show. During an interview with Government minister Rachel Maclean, Richard was keen to ask why civil servants were still working from home.
He asked: "Minefield number three, before you leave us, and that is civil servants. We pay their wages. Why aren't they at work? Why aren't they at the office? Why are half of them staying at home, particularly Mondays and Fridays and sunny days, what is going on?".
The 66-year-old journalist then added there was "no way of checking how much work" civil servants are doing. He also asked why they couldn't go "back to their desks".
