Some viewers found the interview helpful ahead of next week’s General Election.
One Twitter user said: “@GMB He’s doing a great job, even if Susanna is more attacking than interviewing. At least Ben is there to keep it on track! As someone still unsure how to vote, I found that interview helpful, thank you.”
“Whether you agree with him or not, I thought he answered the questions clearly and honestly,” someone else wrote.
