'Bye Bye Boris' Blasted Out At Westminster As GMB Report On Parliament Resignations

Ed Balls and Susanna Reid were discussing the spate of resignations in government when the broadcast was interrupted by music

A Good Morning Britain segment descended into chaos today, 6 July, when someone started blasting out what initially appeared to be Bay City Rollers’ ‘Bye Bye Baby’ as the presenters reported on recent government resignations from Westminster – only for it to soon become clear that the lyrics had been changed, aptly, to ’Bye Bye Boris’.

Watch the clip here: 

In the footage, Ed Balls and Susanna Reid are discussing the spate of resignations in government when the broadcast gets interrupted by music being blared out from a speaker. 

A confused Reid says: “Wow, what’s... is that a... sorry, where’s that come from?! Are we about to do karaoke?”

As the song becomes apparent – a modernised rendition of Bay City Rollers’ 1975 hit, with the lyrics changed to ‘Bye bye Boris, Boris good bye' – she begins to laugh, adding: “I suppose if you are no longer allowed to shout, there are other ways of making your voice heard.” 

Posting the video on Twitter, the official Good Morning Britain account said: “Anything can happen on live television. Karaoke anyone?” 

Reid had been joined at Westminster by Balls, a former politician, to speak about the ‘Tories in turmoil’ after Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid – among others – resigned from government last night.

The swathe of resignations follows Chris Pincher resigning as deputy chief whip after claims he had groped two men, and also comes after the scandal that saw Johnson and Sunak fined for breaking coronavirus lockdown regulations as a result of parties held in 10 Downing Street. 

The news also follows the triggering of a vote of confidence in Johnson, which was held on 6 June. 

Sunak tweeted his letter of resignation alongside the caption: "The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.

"I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.

"My letter to the Prime Minister below."

Javid also shared his own letter on the social media platform, writing: "I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care.

"It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience."

This morning, children's minister Will Quince also resigned after defending Johnson earlier this week, only to discover the 'repeated assurances' he'd been given by No. 10 were 'found to be inaccurate'.
