GOOD Morning Britain viewers were full of praise for Kate Garraway this morning as she slammed Gavin Williamson’ knighthood.
The unimpressed 54-year-old questioned Dominic Raab about the news – and suggested that the way to get the honour was by being fired.
Those watching at home loved the comment and took to Twitter to discuss it, with one person writing: “‘Or fired in fact’
brilliant @kategarraway #GMB.”
A second added: “Fired! Nice one @kategarraway #GMB.”
While a third tweeted: “Go Kate!!
or fired in his case
#GMB.”
Ben Shepherd started by asking Dominic if Gavin deserved the honour.
He replied: “Yes, I think in recognition of the service he has given, both in parliament and in government. It’s not out of keeping with honours that have been provided over the years.”
Kate asked: “Why haven’t you got one then?”
Looking a little uncomfortable, he told her: “ Well, I am still in the cabinet. Those decisions are taken by others. That normally happens when someone steps down from cabinet or government.”
Kate interjected: “Or fired in fact.”
Dominic responded: “You use your words and I’ll choose mine.”
Gavin has widely been slammed for getting a “reward for failure” after he was handed a knighthood just six months after being booted out of the Cabinet.
