BBC viewers called out presenter Laura Kuenssberg for ‘speaking over’ First Minister Nicola Sturgeon during their Scottish referendum debate.
During Sunday’s installment of her titular political programme, the 46-year-old journalist discussed the proposed Scottish poll along with the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Kuenssberg asked Ms Sturgeon if she was confident over whether Scotland would have another referendum next year.
‘I am very sceptical over whether new exploration can pass that test,’ she replied.
‘Without seeing the climate compatibility assessments, I can’t answer that question in the hypothetical.’
However, as the interview intensified, fans expressed their annoyance and blasted Kuenssberg for ‘interrupting.’

‘Laura constantly interrupted and spoke over Nicola Sturgeon It was therefore very difficult to hear what Nicola was saying,’ one complained.
‘What is the point of having party leaders on if they’re not allocated enough time or if Laura is just going to constantly interrupt?’
‘Laura is trying to interrupt Nicola all the time. Grrrr!!!,’ another added.
Echoing a similar sentiment, one person said: ‘There’s no point having Nicola Sturgeon on the show if you’re going to constantly interrupt her and talk over her. Very poor.’
Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg is the BBC’s new flagship political show which came after Andrew Marr left the broadcaster.
Recently, Ms Sturgeon expressed how ‘gutted’ she was for Glasgow missing out on hosting the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, while also offering her congratulations to Liverpool.
While those rooting for the chosen city celebrated the development, the Scottish First Minister shared her commiserations for Glasgow on Twitter.
‘Congratulations, Liverpool. Gutted for Glasgow, but no doubt you’ll do @Eurovision and Ukraine proud,’ she wrote.

‘Glasgow remains a firm supporter of Ukraine and we look forward to watching Liverpool deliver a celebration of Ukrainian culture.’
