Bev Turner has criticised Sir Keir Starmer's appearance on ITV's This Morning, urging the Prime Minister to appear on GB News instead.
Speaking on the People's Channel, Bev dismissed ITV's programme as "a far inferior mid-morning TV show" while discussing Starmer's response to the general election petition.
On ITV's This Morning, the Prime Minister discussed calls for another general election after a petition was launched demanding another vote.
"Look, I remind myself that very many people didn't vote Labour at the last election," Starmer told ITV hosts Cat Deeley and Andi Peters.
Andi Peters then told him that he was lower in the opinion polls than Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, to which the PM stared in stony silence.
Speaking on GB News, Bev Turner said: "Keir Starmer's reaction on a far inferior mid-morning TV show. I'm sure you would agree."

Andrew Pierce asked: "Why doesn't he come on with us? He can come, even if he wants to talk to me about football, that is what he spoke to me about at the Labour conference."
Bev said: "We would love to have him on here and we'd be kind to him, but we would push him in all the right directions in a way that I don't think they did particularly."
Andrew added: "I don't know why he'd be surprised that Nigel Farage is more popular, because Nigel Farage, consistently in polls, is the most popular party leader."
The petition, created just one day after the Budget, has gathered a large response online.
It accuses the Labour Government of going back on its election promises made before its victory in July.
Starmer's Government has faced significant opposition over recent policy decisions, particularly regarding winter fuel payments.
The controversial move to limit these payments to only the poorest pensioners has sparked considerable backlash.
The farming community has also voiced strong opposition to proposed changes in inheritance tax, claiming these could impact the future of their businesses.
Despite these challenges, Starmer maintains his preference for executive power over opposition.
He has said: "It's much better to be in power to do things, rather than the frustration, as I found it, in opposition for all of those long years."
