Susanna Reid was more than happy to step in to defend Ed Balls after he was told he is 'wasted' at Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV new programme alongside the former Labour MP on Tuesday (October 4) following Martin Lewis' regular stint on Monday.
During the latest show, Susanna and Ed were joined via video link by former politician Lord Jeffrey Archer who decided to give his thoughts on Ed's career change. Lord Archer was on the programme to chat about his new book, Next In Line, as well as his connections to the late Margaret Thatcher and the new Chancellor.
But Ed was soon grilling him on Prime Minister Liz Truss and questioned him on the differences between the country's new leader and former Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher as Truss hasn't shied away from her admiration of her late predecessor.
