Earlier in the programme, Ms Cooper had demanded that Mr Wilson confirm if Reform UK would cut special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) services if they take control of any council. The audience member said: "I just found it a bit ridiculous that we're on about disillusionment but within seconds of the debate starting, Daisy, you immediately cut off Reform and started trying to give them a gotcha question.

Don't miss: Nigel Farage tipped to be 'big winner' at local elections
"I'm not voting for Reform but I disagree with that sort of culture that we've got into where you're interrupting each other and not letting each other finish.
"In Beverley today Reform, Labour and the Conservatives were out but they were actually listening to each other and having a discussion, why can't you do that in front of us?
