Another said: “Peston’s show has become an echo chamber for moaning Remainers.”
Political activist Tim Montgomerie also noted the absence of Brexiteers. He wrote on Twitter: “No pro-Brexit voices on Peston. Again.”
During the show, Lord Mandelson demanded Britain have a second Brexit referendum and claimed British people will be forced to make the final decision on the Brexit deal because MPs will be unable to reach an agreement.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also said on the show that “over the next couple of weeks” the SNP will “restart” the debate for independence.
Ms Sturgeon said once there is clarity on the Brexit outlook, she will consider an independence referendum.
The Scottish First Minister said: “Of course, over the next couple of weeks we will, I suppose, restart a debate about why independence for Scotland is an opportunity and what those opportunities are."
