Labour minister sparks GMB fury as he refuses to answer simple Starmer question
Kate Garraway asked MP Pat McFadden a question on Good Morning Britain, but it left viewers at home furious.
GMB: Pat McFadden quizzed on Israel-Hamas peace deal
Good Morning Britain viewers were left absolutely raging after one question triggered a debate on the show. Host Kate Garraway shared the breaking news overnight regarding a peace deal with Israel and Hamas, which she said was broken largely by President Trump and others.
She asked Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden about the deal and said: "What role did the UK and Sir Keir Starmer play in getting us to this point and what role should they play in the future?"
McFadden said that Starmer supported the plan and had announced it at the Labour Party Conference. He added: "I think the overnight news is tremendously important for the world, it gives a sense of hope that hasn't been there in recent years."
He did refer to it as "fragile", adding that anything could go wrong. He explained the release of hostages is "hugely important".

Of the many things Pat McFadden did say about the news, he didn't respond to the actual question at hand.
But frustrated viewers in the comments were quick to share their thoughts instead. One user wrote: "No role to play. Completely irrelevant party and as Ukraine has shown, when we meddle, it only pollutes the discourse further."
Another said: "Absolutely none, he's irrelevant." A third wrote: "No role to play whatsoever. Everything Labour touches turns to [poo emoji]".
A fourth shared a photo of Donald Trump with the words "The Peace President" sprawled across and wrote "proper leader".

Kate and Ed had discussed the peace deal earlier in the show in a historic breaking news announcement.
Ed explained that the agreement is expected to be signed "in the next few hours" as he declared "progress is happening". They were then joined by ITV's international editor, Emma Murphy, who explained that the agreement came in the early hours of the morning as representatives from Israel, Hamas, the US and Egypt had been working through proposals.
She said: "It was a huge task ahead of them but they have now managed to achieve the possibility of peace in Gaza."
Keir Starmer called the deal a "moment of profound relief".
