Camilla Tominey unleashed her fury on Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, claiming the Labour minister had refused to appear on GB News to answer questions about her party. Presenters Mark White and Anne Diamond spoke to Tominey on Sunday morning's show, asking her about Cooper's absence. White said to Tominey, who wanted the Labour minister on her programme: "Once again the Foreign Secretary is avoiding your show - she's frit, isn't she?" Tominey replied: "Keir Starmer has never come on the show, Rachel Reeves has never come on the show. I have huge admiration for those who do. If you can't face a grilling by me on behalf of the public, then literally what is the point of you?

"We don't know why they run scared beyond the idea that they are a little bit frightened of being Tominied on a Sunday morning."
Viewers were quick to react on X (formerly Twitter) about the lack of Labour ministers on GB News.
One person penned: "Yvette Cooper, Foreign Secretary and certified Ninja-Level Question Dodger, has bravely REFUSED a GB News interview with Camilla Tominey. Facing Putin? Sure. Facing global crises? No problem. Facing a perfectly polite journalist asking perfectly reasonable questions on live TV? Vanishes in a puff of smoke like a startled cartoon character. Bravest move she’s made all week: running away faster than a vegan from a steakhouse."
A second added: "They are cowards, and it shows that Camilla won't ask soft questions and let her get away with waffle. She will ask questions Cooper would not be able to answer as she’s bl**dy clueless."
A third echoed: "Aye, if you’re in politics, you can’t shy away from a bit of heat - might as well bring a BBQ if you're not ready for a grilling! But dodging questions just stirs the pot, isn’t it?"
However, defending Cooper, another said: "Why should she appear on such a minuscule GREAT BRITISH NERDS TV STATION? Just look at the poor quality of the presenters!"
Another claimed: "GB News is only watched by 7% of the adults in the UK. That's why politicians don't bother with it."
GB News airs daily on Freeview, Sky and YouTube.
