BBC Breakfast’s Jon Kay welcomed two journalists on air on Wednesday morning – but things soon took a turn.
Both Anna Isaacs from the Independent and Sebastian Payne from the Financial Times joined the host to talk about how busy their jobs have been since the first two resignations on Tuesday (July 5).

As the two discussed their thoughts with the BBC Breakfast host, Jon started talking about tax cuts, as he said: “But tax cuts are a possibility now do you think?”
She responded: “Well, there’ll be tax cun– cuts to mitigate the fact that we’ve had tax rises, so that was the problem with the narrative yesterday.”

While she continued talking to Jon Kay and glossed over the awkward stumble, viewers were too quick and immediately caught the blunder.
Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: “I think someone just said “Tax C***s on BBC Breakfast.”
Users replied to the tweet with one person writing: “I believe I heard the same. Is this a new fiscal policy?” While another added: “She did indeed! And she’s not wrong [smiling face].”
Another said: “Lady on BBC Breakfast just said tax c***s instead of tax cuts. She’s blagging it, hoping no one noticed.”

A third shared a clip of the blunder and wrote: “Tax c***s on the way apparently.”
Luckily Jon didn’t pause on her blunder as she continued to discuss the taxes and continued talking about the politics surrounding the recent resignations.
BBC Breakfast’s decision to welcome two political journalists comes shortly after two senior MPs submitted their resignation on Tuesday 5.
Both Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak submitted their resignation to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, though they were replaced within mere hours.

However, while the political coverage has continued on air, further resignations have been submitted from various senior MPs.
It comes mere weeks after Johnson survived a vote of no confidence, but this week further MPs have called for his own resignation after withdrawing themselves from their post.
BBC Breakfast continues weekdays on BBC One from 6am.
