The Education Secretary appeared on the programme as the Government is launching its education recovery plan to try and raise standards of Maths and English this week. Nugent probed Zahawi about children missing huge amounts of schooling during the coronavirus pandemic, with a reported 200,000 children off school with the virus at present. However, many BBC Breakfast viewers called for her “be tougher” on the minister.
Many viewers lashed out on Twitter over the interview, with Nicola fuming: “Just switched #BBCBreakfast off, can’t bear to hear Zahawi boast about education spending anymore when our school is financially on its knees along with still reeling from the pandemic. Total gaslighting as usual!”
Dawn Owen sarcastically added: “Really held him to account there Sally #BBCBreakfast.”
Hugh Edwards remarked: “This is the second day in a row that the BBC have allowed Zahawi to waffle on almost without interruption. Sally, please don’t say okay, it’s really not okay. You need to be far tougher with this Grade A b********r.”
