Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley has drawn rare praise for grilling chancellor Rachel Reeves for benefits cuts that will push 250,000 people into poverty – while herself receiving free concert and theatre tickets.
On Thursday (27 March), Madeley and co-host Kate Garraway pushed Reeves on her controversial decision to cut benefits, which will leave over a quarter of a million people in poverty, including 50,000 children. There has been widespread backlash to the policy announcement made during her spring budget speech earlier this week.
