ITV Good Morning Britain aired footage of an empty chair on their programme today (Friday August 5) after government ministers failed to show up.
It comes after the Bank of England warned the UK is facing the longest recession since the financial crisis and predicted inflation will peak at more than 13 per cent as gas price soar. The Bank of England said it will raise interest rates by 0.5 percentage points to 1.75 per cent on Thursday - the largest single hike for 27 years.
As always, Good Morning Britain invited government ministers onto the show to shed clarity on issues which affect millions of people across the country. However, ITV producers were told ministers did not have time.
