Energy minister Greg Hands left Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway and viewers frustrated after he failed to give his opinion on the exodus of aides leaving Boris Johnson's side following the Prime Minister's Jimmy Saville comments to Keir Starmer on Monday.
The morning host and GMB fans alike were left surprised by the Conservatives MP's determination to avoid commenting on the situation which has seen five aides to Mr Johnson leave Downing Street this week.
The exodus followed comments made by the Prime Minister to Labour leader and former director of prosecutions with the Crown Prosecution Service, Keir Starmer in the House of Commons on Monday (January 31).
