Kemi Badenoch accuses Prime Minister Andy Burnham of dodging the 'difficult stuff' after his tearful Gogglebox appearance for charity
'There's a Budget next week and he's going on Gogglebox,' the Tory leader said, adding she never had time for TV even as a junior minister. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would 'make no apology' for trying to 'lead with a bit of lightness'. He sat on the No 10 sofa with Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram for the Stand Up To Cancer special. He fought back tears as he watched the story of Will, 41.
Will died a week after his bowel cancer diagnosis; Burnham called it 'utter devastation'.
Burnham said politicians can 'spot faithfuls and traitors a mile off' while watching The Celebrity Traitors.
Gogglebox viewers defended the PM, saying 'he's raising money for cancer charities'.
