Rising Labour star Chuka Umunna stormed off a live TV interview today after becoming embroiled in an angry on-air spat over a letter he had not read.
The shadow business secretary was repeatedly pressed by Sky News anchorman Dermot Murnaghan about letters sent by the Government to English mosques urging them to root out extremism. After a series of angry exchanges Mr Umunna – who said he had been invited on to talk about David Cameron’s earlier speech on the economy – walked off while the cameras were still rolling, waving his hand at the screen in exasperation.
