Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid shoots down Stop Oil protestor who says the show doesn't address climate change

Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid took down a climate protestor a peg or two after he claimed the show doesn't discuss the climate crisis. Reid was stunned by the 'audacity' of the Just Stop Oil campaigner who was appearing on the show to debate and discuss the ongoing M25 protests by the climate change group, and she cut off the interview after he admitted he didn't watch the daily morning show.

Susanna and her co-host Ed Balls were joined on the latest episode of Good Morning Britain on Thursday, November 9, by Just Stop Oil spokesperson Sam Johnson who told the pair he believes the Government has broken its own climate laws. Multiple arrests have been made following the protests on the M25 which saw campaigners climbing up gantries in Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey and Kent.

As the interview continued to heat up, Susanna asked Sam: "Have you watched this programme?"

When he admitted he doesn't watch Good Morning Britain, Susanna erupted: "Right, so you don't have any idea what this programme does. You have no idea who our meteorologist is, Laura Tobin, who is one of the most outspoken people on climate change who has written an entire book about what we each need to do on climate change.

"And you have the audacity to come on here and say we are not talking about the issues. "We talk about the issues every single morning Sam, you're not getting people on your side, including people who would naturally be sympathetic to your cause."

She refused to let Sam speak any further, telling him: "Sorry, but I am going to end it there because you have already said you don't watch it and you don't care. Sam, thank you very much indeed."

Susanna then took a dig at the Sam by telling viewers: "We now have the weather with our expert - here is Laura."
