Here is the moment when High Wycombe’s outgoing MP Steve Baker mistakenly argued with the wrong political commentator in last week’s General Election.

The 53-year-old Conservative, who had served as the town’s Member of Parliament for 14 years between 2010 and 2024, was interviewed by Good Morning Britain on Friday, July 5.

His chat with the breakfast news programme came after he had lost his seat to Labour’s Emma Reynolds, who managed to claim 16,035 votes, compared to the 11,444 ballots Baker received.

The High Wycombe constituency was one of the last to be called out across the UK, with the result being confirmed between 6.30am and 7am that morning at Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury.

Not long after the news was revealed, the ex-Minister of State for Northern Ireland spoke to TV host Susanna Reid and her co-host, former Labour MP, Ed Balls, with the latter two being based at their studios in London.

One of the programme’s guests for their General Election coverage was George Osbourne, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer.

When Balls asked Baker if ‘the voters got it wrong’ in his constituency, Baker replied back with, ‘George, I’m not going to have an argument with you.’

Reid replied with, ‘That’s Ed Balls’, before the two both tried to explain to the outgoing MP that he had misunderstood who had asked the question.

Baker was heard saying that both he and Osbourne ‘had a lot of history’, before the camera panned on the latter who seemed to find the incident somewhat humorous.

Following his election defeat, the 53-year-old said: “I feel very sad for our country because Labour are going to do a terrible job.

“If I thought otherwise, obviously I’d be in the Labour Party.

“They don’t know how to cope at all with the institutional reform and they certainly don’t know how to sort out the public finances.

“Thank God I’m free.

“It’s been a long 14 years and I am not sorry to lose.

The self-styled 'Brexit hardman' added: “I fought this to win it and I wanted to do my duty and continue.

“But I am today, thank God, a free man.

“Try being elected to Parliament and you’ll understand.

“I am able now to resume my life and that is going to be a great blessing to me.

“So I’m afraid I will be honest with the public.

“Thank God I’m a free man.”
