Good Morning Britain viewers have been forced to switch off their TV sets. The breakfast show returned with hosts Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway, with panellists political correspondent Kevin Maguire and ex-Conservative Party Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.

They debated Prime Minister and Andy Burnham's freshly unveiled proposals for social care reform across England. Following the UK leader's declaration that he seeks "substantial change" to the framework supporting elderly citizens and working-age adults with disabilities, Kevin and Kwasi's suggestions for rolling out these reforms became increasingly contentious.

Audiences were left fuming over Kwasi's presence on the panel as one person on social media raged: "#gmb We are not paying for electric to listen to the views of Britain's worst ever Chancellor, have turned off as we do every time he is on, hopefully others on here do the same."

Another viewer agreed: "For some reason, we keep putting Kwasi Kwarteng on to discuss government policy after he managed to crash the UK economy with Liz Truss, which caused chaos for millions."

A third audience member demanded: "Why is a failed Chancellor of the Exchequer on giving advice on what should be done after the state he put this country in?"

Someone else joined in:"GMB needs to get rid of Kwasi; he's infuriating, just constantly talking while others are trying to make their point, plus I'm sick of seeing him laughing about crashing the economy," as another viewer raged: "Why does Good Morning Britain keep inviting Kwasi Kwarteng on? He constantly talks over other people so you can't hear what they are trying to say. Rude and disrespectful," reports the Express.

During the heated exchange, Kevin said: "What's brutal is people not getting care, not being able to afford care, or spending all their life savings or selling the home they have. The current system is brutal. Coming up with an answer isn't brutal," as Kwasi interrupted: "What's the 10% tax on everyone?".

Determined not to be cut off, the journalist continued: "There is this idea around that the one way of funding it isn't national insurance now or income tax. It is, when you die and you're dead in the ground or your ashes, whatever you leave... shrouds have no pockets, you can't take them with you."

However, the former chancellor was quick to challenge this, firing back: "No, no, no. You paid all your taxes. So you just tax them?"
