Ed Balls' Interview with Home Secretary Wife Sparks Over 8,000 Complaints

Ofcom reviewing backlash over perceived conflict of interest and handling of sensitive topics on Good Morning Britain.

Ed Balls interviewed his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, on Good Morning Britain about recent riots and policing issues.
The broadcast received 8,201 complaints, with viewers citing conflict of interest and biased questioning.
Criticism also arose from an earlier interview with Labour MP Zarah Sultana, who accused the media of complicity in far-right violence.
Ofcom is assessing the complaints and has issued a warning to social media platforms about the spread of violent content and misinformation.
ITV defends the interviews as balanced and impartial, while Ofcom has yet to decide on a formal investigation.
