Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway asks to borrow money during wage dispute

Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway asked her co-star for "a fiver" while discussing the sexist wage problem.

The panel was able to reveal women work 54 days for free a year due to wage differences with their male counterparts. Kate Garraway sparked the conversation by saying, "Today is the day we stop working for free," before correcting herself, stating she means women as a community and not herself specifically.

The "pregnancy penalty" was also referenced which sees mothers face difficulties those without children do not, including workplace benefits, career progression, and strained maternity pay.
