BBC viewers furious at Laura Kuenssberg: 'Why did she travel to New York for THAT?!'

However, Kuenssberg interrupted: “Forgive me Prime Minister, I think at the moment people would like to know how they’re going to put food on the table in the next few weeks and months, rather than thinking about a long term ten point plan.”

The Prime Minister hit back: “Sorry, just on that Laura if I may. I don’t believe people will be short of food.”

Ahmed went on to read out a complaint sent in from BBC viewer Sandra Hickman.

The statement read: “Could you please explain why it was necessary for Laura Kuenssberg to fly to the USA to interview the Prime Minister, when you already have American correspondents in place and then to ask questions totally unrelated to his visit?”
