GB News’<\/a> broadcast descended into chaos on Wednesday (November 12) as presenter Stephen Dixon attempted to interview British Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick,<\/a> while anti-Brexit<\/a> protesters repeatedly interrupted him by waving Sooty, Sweep and even a stuffed elephant directly behind him. Jenrick attempted to laugh off the stunt at the start of the segment, joking: \u201cYou will have to excuse the clowns I have behind me. It\u2019s not David Lammy, this time it\u2019s even worse.\u201d But by the end of the conversation, Dixon had clearly had enough.<\/p>\n

The presenter told viewers: \u201cBBC<\/a> cancelled Sooty and Sweep back in the day. Unfortunately, they\u2019ve revived themselves behind you. We\u2019ve tried to ignore them all morning, and you\u2019ve done very well ignoring that behind you, thank you, Mr Jenrick.\u201d He then questioned how waving children\u2019s TV puppets could possibly help the protesters\u2019 cause:<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone ever thought that waving puppets is how you make a serious point? They want to complain about Brexit; they\u2019re entitled to. But how do you make a serious point? By waving Sooty and Sweep, and a stuffed elephant? I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activist responsible was widely believed to be Steve Bray, the well-known anti-Brexit campaigner who calls himself \u201cMr Stop Brexit\u201d and regularly stages loud demonstrations outside Parliament.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jenrick pushed on with his message despite the disruption, launching a fierce attack on Sir Keir Starmer<\/a>\u2019s Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s end-of-days stuff, isn\u2019t it?\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got the most unpopular Prime Minister ever. You\u2019ve got the most unpopular Chancellor since records began, who\u2019s about to break the manifesto commitment and increase income tax in her budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the bold stunt, the man behind the puppets, who has over 200,000 followers on social media, shared a clip of Jenrick on GB News and typed: “Great to be back at Parliament today for PMQs…<\/a> He’s behind you!!!” As he continued to protest against Brexit and the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

Many responded to the clip with both negative and positive reactions. One wrote: “How they can watch that without cracking up laughing is beyond me.”<\/p>\n

While a second added, “Which one is the puppet?” and a third remarked, “I hope you held up signs behind the BBC pointing out their misinformation and lies too? No? Why not?” A fourth said: “Is this the most important accomplishment in your life? Your children must be so proud.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GB News’ broadcast descended into chaos on Wednesday (November 12) as presenter Stephen Dixon attempted to interview British…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":568969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[180608,802,748,2000,299,5187,1699,42617,180614,180612,180613,4884,180611,24488,180609,180610,12623,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-568968","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-anti-brexit-protest","9":"tag-brexit","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-eu","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-european","14":"tag-european-union","15":"tag-gb-news","16":"tag-gb-news-chaos","17":"tag-gb-news-prank","18":"tag-gb-news-puppets","19":"tag-great-britain","20":"tag-puppets","21":"tag-robert-jenrick","22":"tag-sooty","23":"tag-sooty-and-sweep","24":"tag-steve-bray","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115545888824486274","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
