Susanna Reid called out this outrageously rude Tory MP and had everyone cheering

Poke Staff. Updated February 21st, 2022

To Good Morning Britain now, where NHS palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke – you might know her as the hugely popular @doctor_oxford on Twitter – was talking about the government’s sweeping away of Covid regulations today.

She was joined in the discussion by Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who once said the best protection against Covid was to get it, along with presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley.

We mention it because of Bridgen’s reaction when the video link to Dr Clarke froze, and Susanna Reid’s totally on-point response.

Dr Rachel Clarke – The idea the government could thinks it's okay to stop self isolation for Covid… is not just irresponsible or reckless, it's worse than that..

Susanna Reid – The line has frozen

Andrew Bridgen – Thank goodness

Susanna Reid – Let's have some respect..#GMB pic.twitter.com/XWiZibA1Rl

We’re lost for words. If only Bridgen had been too.

Did Andrew Bridgen actually just say ‘thank goodness’ when the line was disrupted? How disrespectful! #GMB

Andrew Bridgen
actually just say ‘thank goodness’ when the line was disrupted? Just about sums up the government's true attitude to NHS front line workers. Well done susanna for calling him out #GMB

Let’s clap for the NHS is now portrayed as let’s hope we can shut out the advice they are giving in the hope of saving one persons job?

Just seen Andrew Bridgen on GMB and was absolutely disgusted by the disrespect he showed to a frontline medic working to save peoples’ lives in this country. @susannareid100 well done for making your feelings known. I was flabbergasted by it.
