What happened in the interview?
Andrew Marr spoke to Boris Johnson ahead of the Conservative Party conference.
He was quizzed on the fuel shortage, energy prices, food prices and inflation all going up, as well as the cutting of £20 off Universal Credit.
Goggleboxer Pete was cross, saying: “Inflation’s gone through the [bleep] roof, so it costs more to live, but obviously Boris doesn’t see it like that with his £500 a role wallpaper.”
Meanwhile, the Malones felt Boris was skirting the questions asked.

Other viewers watching Gogglebox were not impressed with its coverage of Korean smash hit Squid Game.
They said they were ‘appalled’ that the cast were watching the drama with English language dubbing rather than subtitles.
There was also a Christmas advert screened during the first commercial break.
Viewers were surprised to see it given it’s only the beginning of October and we haven’t had Halloween or Bonfire Night yet.
Though ad makers Very poked fun at how early it was themselves by showing trick or treaters disappointed to receive a mince pie as their Halloween treat.
Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Friday nights at 9pm.
