The prime minister has defended his appearance on Gogglebox after criticism from Kemi Badenoch, who said she was “amazed” he had time to take part in the programme.
Burnham said he “makes no apology” for the move, signalling that he stood by the decision despite Badenoch’s comments.
The exchange centres on whether the appearance was appropriate given the prime minister’s responsibilities. No further details about when the programme was recorded or broadcast, or the wider circumstances of the criticism, were provided in the available material.
The latest position is that the prime minister continues to defend the appearance, while Badenoch has questioned how he was able to find time for it.
