has expressed strong criticism of Labour MP Emma Reynolds after her chaotic appearance on LBC with host Nick Ferrari on June 16. During the interview, Reynolds, who is a treasury minister, struggled to answer fundamental questions regarding new which aims to repair deteriorating bridges, flyovers, and tunnels across the country. The exchange quickly became uncomfortable as Reynolds was seen rifling through her notes in an attempt to respond to Ferrari's inquiries about her government's plans.

Morgan, known for his outspoken commentary, did not hesitate to share his thoughts on the matter. He referred to Reynolds as a "clown" and voiced his concern over the overall state of Britain under the current Labour government. In a tweet, he remarked, "FFS.... Is it any wonder Britain's in the state it's in when this clown is one of the people running it?"

In the painfully awkward exchange, Reynolds struggled to answer questions about the Lower Thames Crossing, including the exact location and the cost. The new crossing for the River Thames, which aims to reduce congestion at the Dartford Crossing, will link Tilbury in Essex and Gravesend in Kent with two tunnels.

She also mistakenly referred to the existing crossing as the "Dartmouth tunnel", apparently confusing the Devon town with Dartford. When asked where the new crossing would start and end, Reynolds responded: "You'll forgive me, I can't recall the exact landing zone."

A stunned Ferrari replied: "So the crossing you're talking about, you don't know where it is?"

Reynolds continued: "It's the Lower Thames Crossing, which has been in planning for many years and it is to enable essentially people to not have to take the Dartford Tunnel, which is a huge problem, and it's to enable business, lorries, people doing business, who are coming from the Midlands and the North to key ports in the South-east."

The LBC host responded: "It's almost as if you were reading from a piece of paper there, isn't it? You don't actually know where it takes off from and where it lands, do you?"

Reynolds explained: "You'll forgive me, but this is part of a broader 10-year infrastructure strategy that we will be launching later this week."

Asked how much it was going to cost, she said it would be "quite a lot of money" before suggesting it would be "several billion pounds".

He commented: "I don't wish to be rude to you personally, but is there much point continuing this conversation because you don't know where a bridge starts, you don't know where it ends, and you don't know how much it costs, so is there any point continuing?"

Social media erupted over the segment, as many shared their support for Reform UK over this "shambles" of a government.
