BBC Breakfast's Charlie Stayt brutally cut off an MP amid a heated discussion about the cost of living crisis and recent mini budget on Thursday's edition (September 29) of the beloved morning show.
Following the value of the pound plummeting by 1% in the United Kingdom, Charlie and Naga spoke to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury of the United Kingdom – Chris Philp – about the mini budget.
But things became heated when Charlie fumed and cut the MP off mid sentence for a response that he didn't think was adequate.

Charlie asked the MP about his thoughts on the value of the pound dropping by 1%.
Chris replied: "I'm not going to get into commenting on micro-currency moves on a day-to-day-basis," before defending what the government is doing.
They spoke about the "growth plan" that will "sustain schools, hospitals and the police", before addressing the rising energy bills and how the average household will have bills of more than £2,500.
"On reflection now, do you think that there was anything wrong in the Chancellor's mini budget?" Charlie then asked the MP.
Replying to the BBC anchor Chris said: "No one's perfect, and we're obviously navigating very difficult international financial situations."
Charlie then butted in and fumed that the MP's answer "was not sufficient" enough.
Before reiterating his question about the mini budget, Charlie sounded stern as he said: "I'm going to interrupt you there" before adding: "my question was very clear."
After Charlie repeated his question in full, Chris then replied: "No I don't think so, let me be clearer, no I don't think so."
He then said how he "wasn't going to apologise" for "making an intervention in the energy markets" that is protecting households.
Making a sly jibe, Charlie then said: "Can I ask you, if you like a more obvious question, which is there will be people watching this morning, listening to you in your role of chief secretary to the treasury, who are worried, they might be scared about what's going on in the economy – how can you reassure them?"
Chris replied: "We understand, I understand, the government understands that people are anxious," before outlining the changes that are in motion.
