Nick Robinson tripped up over the shadow chancellor’s name on BBC Radio 4’s flagship Today programme – and hilariously didn’t even realise he’d done it.

The BBC presenter became the latest journalist to make the infamous gaffe on Friday morning, slipping up as he grilled Alison McGovern, the employment minister, on welfare cuts ahead of the Budget.

“The Tories announced £12 billion in welfare cuts, and at the time, the Labour Party condemned that,” he said.

“They said that Rishi Sunak, Jeremy Cunt, had no idea where they get the money.”

Robinson later apologies for the slip-up, saying he repeated what was known as the Jim Naughtie error in his last interview
