Good Morning Britain viewers endured an awkward moment as Susanna Reid challenged a guest on Tuesday's episode. Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former Prime Minister's spokesperson, and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi appeared on the ITV show to promote their new Channel 4 reality show.
Make Me Prime Minister is designed to highlight to the country the process involved in getting the top job in politics. However, the pair became embroiled in a disagreement over interrupting when asked about the current state of Government in this country, reports The Mirror.
While Campbell has staunch Labour allegiances, Baroness Warsi is a Conservative member of the House of Lords. Turning to Campbell, Baroness Warsi said: “One of the things we argue about both on screen and off screen is, he keeps telling me how bad my party is, how many mistakes they’re making.

“Of course they’re making mistakes – the fact that we had to get rid of Boris Johnson meant that a huge amount of mistakes were made. But I keep saying this to him and to the Labour party: you’re still not winning.
“So clearly whatever you’re saying is not cutting through. The vision of Britain you’re presenting, people aren’t buying. Ultimately, you can’t just sit back and wait for –”
Campbell then cut in, saying: “Part of the reason –” before Susanna herself interjected telling him to “hang on.” He came back quickly, saying: “Wait, let me just finish,” at which point Susanna looked floored by the interruption.
She replied: “No, you just interrupted someone who hadn’t finished and then said, ‘Let me finish’. Why don’t we allow Baroness Warsi to finish?”
Campbell then replied: “Why don’t we allow you, Susanna, to make this about the Labour party when we came to talk about the TV programme?”
He then continued: “The point I was going to make,” before Susanna again cut in, saying: “You literally just spoke over the person sitting next to you who hadn’t even finished.”
Campbell then relinquished the point, turning to the Baroness and saying: “Go on then. Do you think I spoke over you?”
She replied: “Actually, to be fair, we have this banter consistently,” telling him to make his original point after all. Susanna then refused to let Campbell off, saying: “I don’t think you should concede your point, Baroness.”
She replied: “He’s in a party that hasn’t won for over a decade. Off you go,” to which Susanna said: “Oh, you feel sorry for him.”
